A language is constantly developing its internal structure and resources. It is adapting to ever changing circumstances of social, cultural, political and scientific life, generating new forms and content and abandoning old ones, improving its expressive means and devices through their structural complication or simplification. Language is one or those spheres of human activity that is the first to respond to social and other kinds of changes in our life and activities.

Language space is ontological condition of human being and an integral determinant of culture. In this case culture space acts as a set of ways of human activities and its results, which are based on language and affect on it, creating a spatial system, implemented in the language and cultural situations. The process of interaction of languages and cultures in the historical cultural regions and the social sectors makes linguistic space influence on the development of national culture, being its integral factor.

"Planar" language division induced by society and features of social interaction of human groups through their communication, cultural value, the interaction of linguistic, ethnic, cultural, sociopsychological factors of functioning and evolution of speech, and creates a language space that produces a dual or multiple ethnic identity and leads to the creation of new highly-ethnical community [1].

The social transformation of society contributes to national revival that is specifically affected the characteristics of sub-ethnic groups, the development and redistribution of functions of language of titular nation. Characteristics of the language space is determined by the interaction of language of titular nation with ethnonational languages, which requires correlation of historical and national consciousness, mentality and traditions of national culture, and manifests itself through ethnic and national identity and self-identification. Ethnicizing, that is reflected in the linguistic space, is developed as an aspect of socialization, communication style, a particular perception of the world, which is inherent in the culture of the ethnic group.

Identification of national and international in language space is possible through dialogue and conflict of national (ethnic) doctrines and analysis of the foundations of communication between people in the community, so intercultural communication determines the language space. Display of the national and international in language space occurs unconsciousness, through linguistic picture of the world (national), which is reflected by the mentality that, in turn, determines the appropriate changes in the speech space [2].

Language space, determined by national consciousness, serves as the current condition of the individual personal perception of the surrounding world and affect the choice of ways and forms of entry into the world of national culture, he plays the integrative nature of ethnic culture, which is created in figurative and emotional and conceptual-semantic patterns. Language space, based on a critical knowledge, allows a person to experience and accept the new reality, to reflect it in your native language.

Correlation of both two languages and two cultures (sometimes three or more) facilitates deeper penetration into the language of " ethnic groups, helps to identify topological, national-specific features, which creates conditions for the perception of others as well as their native culture and language, explains their psychology, character, customs, rituals, and history. People, their language and culture should be the basis of formation of the nation, national identity and cultural space.
