A linguistic universal is a pattern that occurs systematically across natural languages, potentially true for all of them. For example, All languages have nouns and verbs, or If a language is spoken, it has consonants and vowels.

Though differences in language do occur, it is clear to the Universalist that those differences are still descriptions of the same objective reality.
