請提供關於 it's inappropriate to view the language as the exclusive property of any one community of people, be they English, America or any other. 的例句給我。請盡量是生活中經常用到的句子。

@dai_dai “be they” is a formal way to say “whether they are”.

@dai_dai To break down the sentence...

it's inappropriate
to view the language as
the exclusive property of
any one community of people,
be they English, America or
any other.

"be they" is used like this...

Be they whatever colour, people are all human beings.
= Whatever colour they are, people are all human beings.

This grammar isn't often used for "be he" or "be she"... it's a literary form used mostly in "be they" and "be it".

Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.

Please ask if that's not clear.
