I apologize if my previous response was not clear. What I intended to convey is that the number of words in a language or in a dictionary, in and of itself, does not necessarily determine the linguistic diversity of that language or the concepts that it can express.
Dictionaries do not necessarily contain every word within a language; rather, they aim to capture the most commonly used words and their meanings. The fact that a dictionary may have a limited number of entries does not necessarily diminish the richness and diversity of that language or the cultural context to which it belongs.
It is also important to note that dictionaries are constantly evolving and being updated to include new words and expressions, and that different dictionaries may have different criteria for inclusion. Therefore, while dictionaries can be a useful resource, they are not an exhaustive representation of a language or its concepts.
