		The idea of language is to turn the electro/chemical pulses in your brain into a format that another person/animal or whatever can understand and turn it into electro chemical impulses in their head to find vaguely the same meaning as what you meant.
		In other languages, the words would have different letters and it would make for variations that wouldn't work (or would just be a little more of a pain to memorize) Even ASL and ESL have some words with completely different signs and they're just different dialects of the same language.
		Language is a manifestation of culture and is necessarily influenced by it.
