Ethnolinguistics is the study of how language and culture influence each other. It examines the ways in which different languages reflect the beliefs, values, and social practices of the communities that speak them. By analyzing language use in various cultural contexts, researchers can gain insights into the identity and worldview of different groups. This field often overlaps with anthropology and sociolinguistics, as it explores the relationship between language and social factors. Ethnolinguists may investigate how language shapes cultural identity, how it varies across different regions, and how it evolves over time in response to social changes.
