Passage 8
Language is one of the most important possessions of the human race. It makes possible the exchange of ideas between men and also the transmission of ideas from father to son.
Throughout history, people have been interested in knowing how language first began, but no one knows exactly where or how this happened. However, we do know a lot about languages, the language of today and also the language of earlier times. There are probably about three thousand languages in the world today. Chinese is the language with the most speakers. English, Hindi-Urdu, Russian and Spanish are also spoken by millions of people. On the other hand, some languages in the world have less than one hundred speakers.
There are several important families of languages in the world. For example, most of the languages of Europe are in one large family called Indo-European. The original language of this family was spoken about 4,500 years ago. Many of the present-day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4,500 years ago.
Languages are always changing. The English of today is very different from the English of 500 years ago. In time, some languages become more important and others become less important. Some even die outcome palely. About 1,000 years ago, English was a little-known relative of German spoken on one of the borders of Europe.
If a language has a large number of speakers, or if it is very old, there may be differences in the way it is spoken in different areas. That is, the language may have several dialects. Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of speakers. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of China cannot understand speakers from other parts.
There are other kinds of dialects in addition to local dialects. In some languages we find words or expressions and even grammatical forms which are used only by men and others used only by women. Furthermore, each generation uses its own slang expressions and grandparents and grandchildren may sometimes have difficulty in understanding each other.
So we see that languages may be very different at different periods of history. And even at one particular point of time, a language may have numerous dialects based on the geographical location, the education, the sex, or the age of the speakers of the language.
