What is the relationship between language and how you perceive the world?

As a person who knows more than one language, I believe that language represents many things. For example; if you ever take a language class, one of the first things you learn from that class is the culture of the language. In that I mean the culture of the countries that use that particular language. Knowledge of cultures will lead to more understanding of languages for why certain expressions are said in a certain way. I agree with Bakhtin that the world and we are created when we speak and write. Everything in this world is described by words. Without words, neither feelings nor intelligence would exist in this world. Without feelings and intelligence, there is nothing. If there is nothing, it is not the world, at least to the human’s perspective. Language allows the world to communicate, express, and interact. Without language, the world would be in chaos.
