Today is International Mother Language Day. Although I was brought up with two languages, my first language is English and therefore my #WorldofWallcharts series today focuses on language, and more specifically the English language.
Here are the previous #WorldofWallcharts curations in this series so far:
1. Space 2. Music 3. Love 4. Flowers 5. Typography 6. Wine 7. Americana 8. Pets
Let's start with a Pop Culture Primer on Parts of Speech, with the stalwart Brooklyn studio of Pop Chart Lab as your guide:
The English language can has a lot of hazards and pitfalls. The same studio also provides a lovely guide to common issues in english usage, with traps that all of us are susceptible to!

One of the pioneers who brought many new words to the English language was William Shakespeare. Interestingly, he also brought a huge number of insults into use, as detailed here by Charley Chartwell:
We still use insults and slang words to this day, and many consider the decade of the 1980s to be the heyday for these portmanteau words and neologisms Charley Chartwell:
The English language has a lot of words which are rather difficult to translate, but this same problem is present in other languages as well, as shown by this blog post from Maptia
Of course, one phrase which is translatable in every different language is "I Love You", as shown in this chart courtesy of Curious Charts 
I hope you enjoyed this tour of language!

He was amazing in terms of what he brought to the world of language. I still find it hard to fully believe Shakespeare was just one person (there is a conspiracy theory which says he was a group)!
Yes that's a great quote!
