Consciousness is the fruit of realization. Realization comes from understanding. Understanding is the result of putting thoughts in the right context.Language, in turn, is the container of thoughts. I cannot imagine thinking without a language.
Therefore, in order to control a society, you need to make their consciousness absent. There is one efficient way to do that; limiting their thinking ability.This can be easily achieved when you are able to shrink the used language. less vocabulary is not merely limiting the spoken language, but it also decays the thoughts.
Omission of words is systematically undertaken by different institutions in the society, and for many reasons.Blasphemy comes on the top of the list. though, there are more people than you can think of who try to control your language, and accordingly, your thoughts. it starts with your parents but does not end when you finish school. each and every law on earth have some blacklisted words that you are not even allowed to think of.It's not only about curse words, it's almost about everything.
When we look at some societies around us, you can easily realize how limited the vocabulary they have in use! they even use the word البتاع(the thing/the belonging) to describe everything at any time. This evidently affected the way they look to themselves and the way they see their future; very limited.
On the other hand, there are organizations who try to give you better alternatives to some words. this eventually elevates the quality of your thinking and increases your consciousness; since the thoughts at the beginning are made of language. and as good your language was, the better your thoughts will be.we all know that the word "challenged", for example, is better than "crippled" or "handicap", and the word "cabin crew" is reflecting a meaning that couldn't be understood when words like "hostess" or "flight attendant" used to be used.
So, in order to achieve a better state of awareness, you need to have sharp and precise thoughts, which implicitly requires a rich language with quality choice of words.
That was an amazing arrangement of many ideas, and related -or better way- based on your idea herein I recommend you to read a book entitled " The language of God", which would give us from another aspect a scientific evidences about God's existence.
