What is the relationship between language and culture?

Answer

Language is the verbal expression of culture. A culture's language contains everything its speakers can think about and every way they have of thinking about things. For example, the Latin language has no word for the female friend of a man (the feminine form of amicus is amica, which means mistress, not friend) because the Roman culture could not imagine a male and a female being equals, which they considered necessary for friendship.
