Often in saying one knows a “language” one really likes to say they know a people or even a nation. In many ways, we imagine that a language is a people– take, for example, the complicated problem of who is an “Arab.” Where national unity is desired, or where a country wants to distinguish itself from another, language is often invoked, as Gaelic has been invoked in Ireland. Where individuals wish to enrich or understand themselves, they often turn to language. The issue with this approach is it is rarely taken with the intention of actually learning to speak to anyone. Instead, the purpose of the language is to further identify oneself with an ethnic group with which the learner interacts in a way that is often voyeuristic, and which they imagine as static and homogeneous.
