👉 Cultriform is a term used in the field of linguistics and communication studies. It refers to the concept of communication patterns that are specific to certain cultural or linguistic groups, such as Native American tribes. These communication patterns are often characterized by unique speech forms, vocabulary, grammar, and cultural norms. The term "cultriform" was coined in 1965 by linguist John J. T. Hackett while studying the linguistic diversity of the American Indian languages.
