Well, no..

A language does not create ethnicity, but is kind of common denominator 
in any society, because without a common language you cannot speak with 
each other.

That's why within a single country (mostly) only a single language is 
spoken.

But this would make the language dependent of the land, because land 
cannot migrate, while people can (and then learn a new language abroad).

Ok, yes, Germany existed since ancient times, because that piece of 
Earth' surface existed long ago, even when there were no Germans or even 
no people at all, but crocodiles and dinosaurs lived in that country.

But dinos couldn't speak, German is most likely younger than the land.
