Cultural anthropology studies human societies and development of cultures through multicultural voices expressed through a variety of cultural discourses in both language and literature. The article attempts to analyse the interconnection between the global and local spaces in both rural and urban spaces. The paper attempts to highlight that such a connection is widely recognized in urban spaces where there are multicultural voices which become the basis of study of cultural linguistics or ethnolinguistics. This study explores how ethnology as a branch of anthropology compares and analyzes the characteristics of different people and the relationships between them.It provides a descriptive study of the effect of innumerable aspects of society, including cultural norms, the way language is used and society's effect on language based on different ethnic groups. It studies the relationship between language and culture and how different ethnic groups perceive the ideologies of ‘glocal’. The article also determines the perspectives of both ethnology and linguistics with respect to multicultural voices in teaching students in classrooms.
