SAMPLE SOLUTION

The relationship between culture and language is deeply rooted. For instance, language is used to convey and maintain culture and cultural diversity. Different ideas originate from different use of language within the culture of a person, and the complete intertwining of the relationships from birth (Hatipoglu & Daskin, 2020). The relationship between culture, language, and diversity is based on how individuals share the human values, behaviors, and realities of a social group. In this case, as explored by Iseke-Barnes (2009), language connects various cultural groups as a tool and also as a symbolic system with the influence and power to impact symbolic realities like cultural perceptions, and identities within cultural identities through a discourse.

Analysis of Proverbs
It is widely known that proverbs play a critical role in understanding the relationship between culture, diversity, and language. Proverbs can also be used to teach language to gain a better understanding of cultural knowledge, including communicative competence and metaphorical understanding
