Cultural identity refers to the sense of belonging to a group, characterized by shared beliefs, values, and practices. It encompasses language, religion, history, and customs. UNESCO estimates that there are over 7,000 languages worldwide, with around 6% of them spoken by 94% of the global population, highlighting linguistic diversity. Approximately 4,300 religions exist, contributing to cultural identity. Cultural heritage sites, numbering over 1,150 as of 2023, also embody cultural identities globally. The notion of cultural identity is significant for social cohesion and personal identity, influencing interpersonal interactions and societal structures. Changes in cultural identity can occur due to globalization, migration, and intercultural exchange, impacting local traditions and global dynamics
