Abstract: Linguistic culture encompasses the practices, beliefs, and values
associated with language use within a particular society. It reflects the historical,
political, educational, and social influences that shape language behavior and attitudes.
This paper explores the foundational concepts of linguistic culture, its connection with
language policy and planning, and its significance in multilingual societies. It also
examines how globalization and digital communication are transforming linguistic
cultures worldwide. By analyzing case studies and theoretical frameworks, the article
aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the dynamic relationship between language
and culture in contemporary settings.
