What is language?
Although there are
dozens of definitions of what language is, but it’s not that easy to
define language in a bunch of words. So, here I am giving a definition of
language though not perfect but is a good one.
“A language is a system of communication which consists of a set of sounds and
written symbols which are used by the people of a particular country or region
for talking or writing”.
People speak a certain language because of their need to communicate, & what better source is there, than language itself. Now imagine how difficult it would be without language. It’s actually quite unthinkable to imagine a world without it. Human beings are social animals and for them a communication system like language is a must.
Why English only?
A very important question, why English only? Why not Chinese, Hindi, Urdu or any other language? People always say English is an international language, but what does it really mean. It’s the most spoken international language because it is easy to learn, it’s easy to adjust in any kind of language like it can borrow words from other languages as well as its words are used in different world languages.
The second reason for its popularity is that it’s the language of those people who are excelling in the field of arts, medicine & technology.
The third reason, it’s the language of trade. It’s a medium through which the world community communicates.
