The multiple languages in Europe is a powerful symbol of the Europe Union’s plan to be united in diversity. It is believed that language can serve as a bridge to other people and open access to other countries and cultures. Linguistic diversity is sometimes known as a specific measure of the density of language, or concentration of unique languages together. The diversity covers varied types of traits including language family, grammar, and vocabulary. Some 60 other languages are also part of the Europe Union's heritage and are spoken in specific regions or by specific groups. Languages that are part of the same family will share similar features and vocabulary.
