One day I'll elaborate more on this, and I'll tell you the difference between the two Spanish words we use for \u00ablanguage(s)\u00bb, but for the moment, here are a few quotes I personally like and fully agree with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>A different language is a different vision of life.<\/p><cite>Federico Fellini<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Language is the road map of a culture.
