- Language is the means of mutually comprehensible communication among people. There are thousands of languages around the world, but many of them are dying.
- Folk culture is practiced by a relatively small number of people in a particular area. Popular culture is diffused rapidly around the world through mass communications.
- The largest language family is the Indo-European family of which there are many branches, including the Romance and Germanic languages. The second largest language family if the Sino-Tibetan family, which includes the most spoken language in the world- Mandarin Chinese.
- Dialects are forms of a language that differ based on vocabulary, syntax, and speed.
- There are five primary religions in the world today: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism (the Western religions) and Hinduism and Buddhism (the Eastern religions). Christianity is the largest religion in the world with just over 2 billion followers. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world.
- Religions defined as monotheistic or polytheistic (worshiping one or more gods) and ethnic or universalizing (people must be born into or can be converted to the religion).
- There are architectural differences in religious structures around the world. Christians use churches, Jews use synagogues, Muslims use mosques, Hindus use temples, and Buddhists use pagodas.
- According to Carl Sauer, cultural landscapes can be read and interpreted based on cultural features such as murals, language of signs, religious architecture, and even food preferences.
