      10.Each individual possessed the "raw" symbolic representation but there was no language to associate it with anything beside one's own mind

      11.No awareness of a shared reality with other humans was possible without a means of communicating shared symbolic representations.

      12.Prior to the development of language our ancestor experienced reality in an absolutely singular (and probably terrifying) way.

      13.As we codified and labeled more and more representations of our mind we made life easier to navigate and contend with.

      14.The symbolic representation found its way out; through the label of a sound, and later, a written symbol; a word.

      15.Language became an entity in itself, growing more and more independent of the abstract symbolism of each individual mind.

      16.Much later humans discovered that language could work in the opposite direction; namely, to suggest a symbol rather than just describe it

      17.Associations could be induced in an individual mind through language, so long as this association was explicit in the shared reality.

      http://18.One 's own mind (abstract symbolism and association) could be influenced by language (shared symbolism and association).

      20.There is a lot more to be said about the relationship of language with the mind but it is not pertinent here.

          21.Identity -like language- exists only in association with symbolic representation. Which language one uses determines that association.

          22.For multilinguals each language carries its own association to one's memory, as well as to one's perception of shared reality.

          23.A different language can be viewed as another method of interpretation for the same set of individual symbolic representations.

          24.The stronger the association between a set of labels (language) and symbolic representation (one's mind) the closer language = identity.

          25.A mother tongue is the 1st & deepest association with the symbolic representation of reality in the mind.Any second language builds on it

          26.Those associations predate acquiring new "labels" for them, even if new "labels" suggest different associations or representations.

          27.Therefore I posit that one's mother tongue, while not necessarily experienced as such, forms the basis of one's identity.

          http://28.One 's identity as experienced in the moment is shifting depending on what is associated with any given language used.

          29.As a trilingual I have often wondered which of the identities suggested by the language I use to think with is "really me".

          30.But then I remember that language is merely an interpretation of symbol, and that the mind is the symbol-creator that permits reality.

          31.Therefore language doesn't constitute identity but is the means of expression for individual symbolic representation AND shared reality.

          32.Again,the symbol exists prior to the label. The label is identity, but the symbol, insofar as we experience it as such, is reality.
