Just think about it as its named. They are languages . This is a priori. Different people create and speak different languages all around the word. But all languages function the same way for the most part and can be understood by anyone who chooses to learn it. Theyre just different languages that people have created. The only difference is, we use it to talk to computers. Which ironically allows us to speak to humans far away from us. Like having a translator. But the language barrier is just distance.
