As the Scholar Dr. Umar F. Abd-Allah defines language and thought during a lecture in 2014 https://youtu.be/iDBq2X-d9o0?t=2340, (part selected).
He talks about how one’s virtue is connected to their language. He uses an anecdote about people a he knows in West Africa which has a language that does not have words for cursing and talking about other people’s families aka backbiting (gossip).
“Language has a lot to do with the way we think (Aql-intellect),” “If you want to give people freedom and Justice, teach them Language.”
Language is essential to thought, clear thinking, observations, critical thinking and intellect.
