Language covers the entire sphere of human activity. With its help, the world is understood and a person forms his national identity.

In this world called the “intellectual instinct of the mind”, “art” and belonging only to humans, the richness of the people's spirit, their inner world, the material-historical world experienced, love for the homeland, people and villages, humanism, the power of scientific-philosophical thinking and poetic thoughts are reflected.
