ABSTRACT
Generally speaking, language and nationality are distinguishable from each other and yet at the same time connected to each other. Ever since human society took the shape of nationalities, language has born the branding mark of these nationalities and therefore has come into an inextricable relationship with nationality. After language became an attribute of nationality, the two, in the course of development, became mutually affecting and mutually dependent. The several other nationality characteristics that are not language-related still have to be reflected and expressed through the medium of language. Because language is one of the attributes of nationality, under most circumstances the boundaries of a language are consistent with the boundaries of the nationality. Among the people of the nationalities that use more than one language, there is generally an obvious consistency on matters involving other nationality attributes. The differences between them lie primarily in the area of language.
