Language is a funny thing. It has equal potential to unite as well as divide. In the hands of a historian, one language may define history a certain way. While in another language, just because of the nuances of the script of the language, it may define a different course of the major landmarks in history. It is possible many lessons were lost and new ones were gained, ones which may not necessarily have been the original intention.
In this podcast, we discuss language and how it has the potential to change the course of any historical event. Whether it is the interpretation of our oldest texts, or the chronicling of our most recent achievements, language has the ability to unite as well create the deepest of divides.
