"My homeland is the Portuguese language" Wiki

 Welcome to the !

This is a community for folk who are invested in the study of language and the history of men who have struggled to find their way in the art of language.

Language will be defined here as "The means by which humans communicate."

This can include speech, facial expressions, body language, and any other means by which humans relay information.

It must be noted that a distinct language is viewed by many to be a form of identity. Language can be very controversial. Over the course of human history language has been used to conceal information, divide ethnic groups, and has inspired the severing of ties of many individuals. It must also be noted that language throughout history has been a unifying factor. In 1871 the state of Germany was unified from many various divided kingdoms, duchies, city-states, and peoples, to a single united empire of one nation and one people over the simple fact that all the participating parties were of the same tongue.

Today languages divide as well as unify. Cliques are formed by your local immigrant Spanish speaking schoolkids in the neighborhood formed by their common ability to speak the same language. Your resume looks better to your future Aruban employer when you note that you can speak Papiamento fluently, and you set your brother on edge when he can see by your body language something isn't right.

People find comfort in language, for many other people it can even be much more. Authors consider language to be their entire way of life, their source of joy. Oh, how the linguistically-minded love to play with poems, and the content love to dance away their days listening to captivating songs.

Many others do not share such this joy. There is an unmeasured number of people who have been unable to understand proper communication, and in a world where everything is language based, they suffer all the punishment the scroll has to offer. It is as a result of this people have suffered the lonely ache of depression, felt the wounds of spares, found themselves ostracized from their nations, and have been driven to the pain of insanity.

For those who do find their way however, it is as if life on Earth is paradise because all the world will be opened up to them. They will be those who understand truly what it means to belong, and they will owe it all to their language. They will be among those who find their happiness in the words they use, and they will embrace them as part of who they are. Regardless of what nation they are of, or what family they descended from, the amount of wealth they've amassed, or the principles they've come to believe in, their language will always be an inseparable part of their defining traits. It is something they will never forsake as it will be their sense of pride.

As the English born poet of Portuguese descent Fernando Pessoa writes "My homeland is the Portuguese language," and his language remained his pride until his untimely death on November 30th, 1935.
