A language is always a reflection of the collective mind of all of its speakers, so much so that we often ascribe the characteristics of a language to the people who speak it and say, for example, that French people are romantic and artistic or that Germans are organized. These are, of course, all stereotypes, and every person is an individual, but it’s certainly also true that the language you speak influences your mentality - a fact proven by linguists.
