Different languages exist because labels of persons, places, and things, aren't based on anything in nature. Viewing the world as a series of word associations is an inefficient way of experiencing life. People get upset when labels don't meet up with their expectations. That's because they believe that labels are actually reality. They are not. Meanwhile, in the plant-based fake dead animal tissue world, this might be of some concern.
