The purpose of the article is to reveal the phenomenon of language as the spiritual arrangement and distinctiveness of the nation, and, as the most important part of national distinctiveness, too. The subject of the article is to consider language both as material and ideal phenomenon. Based on the findings of our investigation we can prove that language can be considered as the most important national identifier, thus it is impossible to aware self-identity in the world without national ideal and language as its concentrated essence. Any nation, which loses its own language and adopts another one, could not have its spiritual independence. This nation has no spiritual vitality and performs apathy and lethargy. Moreover, this nation is unable to assert its right to live among other nations and, that is why this nation is condemned to death. In other words, only strong national will is the criterion of the viability of the nation. The results: individual spirit of the people is clearly expressed in the national language Joint action undertaken by every individual and whole nation are based on the language people speak and think. It is necessary to demonstrate the spirit as the most important national distinctiveness. In this case we perceive further research of languages and nations diversity which arranged by different expressions of spiritual power.
