Definition:
A language is a structured collection of patterns associated with ideas. Language is the tool of communication.
Etymology:
The word “language” comes from the Old French word “langage,” which originally referred to “words” or “what is said.” The Old French term ultimately derives from the Latin word “lingua,” meaning “tongue” or “speech.”
Description:
Language comes in three main forms: chemoreceptive language, audible language and visual language. The language of sensing is often included as a main form of language since it’s actually possible to teach a human born deafblind to communicate with the use of braille and/or vibrations. But it’s unnecessary to include the language of sensing since braille is something which can be detected visually by someone or something, and vibrations is something which can be heard by someone or something. We will definitely not include telepathic language since telepathy is impossible.
