America, Australia speak American and Australian English respectively.
Belgium speaks Flemish and Belgian French (I think).
All of these cultures have languages, but can you think of one that doesn't?

Personally I know that the native american tribes in Canada lost almost all
of their culture when their languages were beaten out of them. The Welsh
fought and kept their culture, and their language.
