Question 13

I do think that beliefs influence language, but not every language. For the Greek and Roman gods are very similar except in there names. They have names in the language of the believers. Zeus is the Greek god name and the Roman name is Jupiter. This shows that the beliefs are influenceing the languages. Most of the languages are not influenced by beliefs. For example catholicism and Protestant are two languages similar,but have believers who use the same language. Even if the language of the believers are different the names of the god and his followers are the same. They just have different explanations for what happened.
