Different ethno and social groups can show us a different variable of diversity. The most valuable cultural issues open for us the interesting variable retrospections of the mentality specific ethno and social groups. For example in some languages we can find unusual archetypes for subjects so uncial, so we can not find definitions for them in another languages. For example, the name of the color khaki in English language has assimilation and all English speakers use that word without doubts, that is color light brownish, mostly known as a military color. However, in Slovenian languages, we can not find that word. Not surprisingly why. Because, in another languages there are not that kind of phenomena. In military people use a blue color of uniform and word khaki doesn’t reflect the reality of that ethno group. And if we can make lexical and semantical analysis of different languages and even dialects we can see a huge amount of diversity in mental system of different languages. Because, every language reflects the mentality of the specific ethno group or community. Differences in ideology, cultural clash, homogeneity develop internal dynamic of the languages in specific ways for every language. As for dialects I can tell that even in one population of the similar ethno groups we can follow all kinds of the lingustical variation on semantical. Culturally diverse different social groups and small communities can provide a small model for the world of how people with differences can learn to live together to make a difference. Because, the language is a way of thinking and exploring the thoughts on the verbal communicative level.
