Language Is The Most Important Means Of Human Communication

Abstract

There are thousands of different languages on the globe. But because the differences between them and dialects of the same language are often highly uncertain and conditional, scholars do not name the exact number of languages in the world, defining it around the boundaries of 2,500 to 5,000.

Each language has its own specific features that distinguish it from other languages. However, in the main features, all the languages of the world have a lot in common, which gives scientists the basis to speak about the human language in general.

People have long been interested in language and over time have created a science about it, which is called linguistics or linguistics (from Latin Lingua - language).
