Language is one of the most important part in human connection and structural development. Language in a lay man understands is just a mode of communication. For example, people with physical impediment like the deaf and dumb uses signs as their mode of communication and every race, tribe, ethnic groups and nations have a language.
Nigeria alone has over 500 languages in a Nations that is only 36 states. Isn’t that amazing? Language impact has really been massive in the world considering the fact that it is easier for one to express himself and be properly understood when a language that is common to the both parties is used.
According to top2world.com there are roughly over 7,117 languages spoken all over the world and about 20% of the world’s population speaks English meaning that with just English, STEEM is know to just 20% of the world’s population and that is just about 1.348 billion people against the six billion people we have in the world.
It is very obvious that language gives one an edge over others. For instance, here on STEEM, I have notice that the most influential community is the Korean community and it is not doubt also true that their members have a reward edge over other communities. Taking sides with them gives you an edge over others.
Language plays a crucial rule in fostering cultural unity and progress and also in expanding the horizon of every culture. Language helps preserve cultures and as well allows us to learn about others and spread ideas quickly.
Kill the language and the culture will be extinct.
What is the Language of STEEM
To different persons, STEEM communicate in a different language with them but for me, I will like to list out a few of the language I know speaks with me.
The Language of Freedom
Some months ago when I was out of the crypto sphere because of inability to access steemit, I literally lived on people and by that I mean I was surviving from peoples pocket. For me I see freedom as ones ability to break from controlling factors via being responsible. For example, during my off days from STEEM, I couldn't carry out much of personal concerns because of financial constraints. No more outing with friends, churching, shopping and even feeding well because I was always out of cash. Now the case is different.
People who don't understand freedom can't earn freedom. You don't fight for freedom, you earn it because it is your ability to understand the task of being free that ushers in freedom.
The Language of Excellence
Somedays back, I was going through my blog here, like trying to read through my previous publications and as I was reading through a particular post that I thought was the best then judging from the result it yielded, I was so amazed by the low quality of delivery. I was like.... is this what I published that got me this much results? Then I said to myself, I will do better.
Any STEEMian that has engaged this platform for sometimes now and still deliver imperfect write ups hasn't understood fully the impact of STEEM because for me I do not see STEEM only as an avenue for financial freedom, I also see it as an opportunity to build my intellectual prowess.
I think that understanding grows over time by use. Now I remember I used to have loads of challenges understanding what to when I read an instruction post but now the case is highly different because by participating in contests and reading instruction post from community admins, I have by far advanced my understanding capacity and I am still growing.
The Language of Consistency
Before now, I was an addict to early give up. I hated delays and stress but with my engagement on STEEM. I have learnt how to remain on a thing till I get the result am looking for. It is sometimes not a very smooth experience but it is always very rewarding at the end of the day.
Honestly, the list can still go on and on and on looking into individuals personalities.
Now lets roll back to what the effect languages would be like if STEEM go lingual.
There is so much more a language communities would do for STEEM because there are so much people out in those languages who would love to be here but because there is no community here spoking their dialect, they can't join.
There are people who don't understand English but are definitely very keen about starting a new kind of investment in what is invoke or trending in the world. For instance, I was in a neighboring sate some years back and during my exploration, I met multi- billionaires who were elites with English but could read and write their native dialect and they were rich as it were. When I was thinking about STEEM in other languages, they first came to my mind and immediately, I saw a possibility of upping the value of STEEM through the instrumentality of more language communities.
I think I would feel very safe investing into a business with the advertiser using my native language simply because I assume it is our thing. Languages don't just binds humanity, it also create a sense of security because we think it is our thing. Language bypasses the name barrier into influencing the hearts of the people of the same language.
Language attracts and that's how I know that it is possible for STEEM to win with Languages.
The Hausas in my nation rates as the most influential in the federation and at the same time they are very ethnicity conscious. They feel very safe with themselves and the control 50% of the nations economy. They believe that they are the most honest and sincere of all in the nation. For instance the most wealthy man in Africa is of this tribe.
Let's be reasonable with this a little bit and see the possibility that STEEM can birth with Languages. Just as I was told when I came into the scene that we grow by number and we influence by value, I think that the dreams of STEEM can be lived out with more language community.
