Language is a system that people use to communicate, or share information. Language includes speaking, writing, and making gestures, or body movements. Early human ancestors began using spoken language several million years ago. Humans began writing about 5,000 years ago. Language made it possible for human societies to develop.
There is a sea of language around us. From that sea comes a constant flow of messages in Brooklynese and Basque, teenybop and Tibetan. And all those messages are wrapped in sounds and silences and signals.
