Eli5 why are there so many languages if we all came Crome the same place why didn’t we just keep using the same language?
In: 0
First, we didn’t all start using the same language, groups started spreading out all over the world before language developed.
Second, language never stops developing. Yknow how 20 years ago if someone said “yolo” or “bussin” you’d have no idea what that meant because they’re new words/phrases? That happens constantly meaning language changes constantly meaning take the same language and look at it after a couple hundred years and it can be totally different. Like old English vs Middle English vs modern English.
