Every group has a culture, however
uncivilized it may seem to us. To the professional anthropologist, there is no
intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional
linguist, there is no intrinsic hierarchy among languages.
People once thought of the languages of backward groups as undeveloped.
While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and
groans, it is a fact established by the study of "backward" languages that no
spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of uncivilized
groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex. They differ from
Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures, which
usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their
vocabularies, which reflect the objects and activities known to their speakers.
Even in this aspect, two things are to be noted. First, all languages seem to
possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words
already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them
to their own system. Second, the objects and activities requiring names and
distinctions in "backward" languages, while different from the West, are often
surprisingly numerous and complicated. A Western language distinguishes merely
between two degrees of remoteness ("this" and "that"). But some languages of the
American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the
person addressed, or removed from both, or out of sight, or in the past, or in
the future.
