Language (English: language) is the expression of human communication. Language is a tool for communication between people and an important carrier of culture. According to the Handbook of Linguistics and Language Communication Tools published in Germany, there are 56,565,438+0 confirmed languages in the world.

Language is a way of communication between people. Without language, people cannot communicate with each other. Although people's thoughts can be conveyed through pictures, actions and expressions, language is the most important and convenient medium. However, people all over the world use different languages, so it is difficult or even impossible to talk to each other directly.

Even the same language has different dialects, and their differences are different. Some dialects can basically understand each other, and some are quite different, as if they were another language. A good example is that Beijingers don't understand Cantonese.

Not only in different regions, there are different languages and dialects, but also in the same region, people of different social classes and different ages will have special words to express their unique feelings, which makes it difficult for people of another class or different ages to understand.

After mastering a language in a language environment, although you can learn another or several other languages or dialects, it is difficult to completely change the accent of the original language or dialect, and always leave a certain degree of original language accent. People who are familiar with the language can often distinguish the speaker's hometown, identity and professional characteristics from these subtle differences.

Language is an important part of culture. It can even be said that there is no culture without language. Only through language can culture be passed down from generation to generation. Language is an important means to maintain lifestyle, and almost every cultural group has its own unique language.

Language is born out of the needs of life in a specific environment, so a specific environment will inevitably brand the language with a specific brand. In addition, language is a medium for people to exchange ideas, so it will inevitably have an impact on politics, economy, society, science and technology, and even culture itself.

Language, a cultural phenomenon, is constantly developing, and its present spatial distribution is also the result of past diffusion, change and development. Therefore, only in the space-time environment can we fully and profoundly understand its relationship with the natural environment and the human environment. Language is also a bridge between different species.
