Languages in isolated communities often develop unique features due to limited contact with other languages. For instance, the Pirahã language spoken by an indigenous group in the Amazon has unique aspects like a very limited number of phonemes and a strong focus on immediate experience. These features develop as the language adapts to the community’s specific environment and way of life, highlighting how isolation can shape linguistic development.
