Abstract
: It’s impossible for any language to remain insulated from contact with other languages; every language in the world is susceptible to development in this way. The most significant aspect in which a language is influenced by other language is related to vocabulary; specifically in this area, the exchange between languages becomes active, with borrowings occurring frequently. The trade, political, and cultural relationships between countries play an important role in this regard.
