Like the title says, how are different languages formed and why aren’t we all just speaking the same language?
In: Culture
Languages were first made up of sounds and they slowly evolved into the words that we know right now. Far back in history people used only different noises to communicate with each other but as centuries passed they started to grow and become complex. Now onto your question regarding different languages, our world is pretty big so people in here are also pretty diverse. So as the noises were not enough to explain something they started making it more complex sounds and gave them meaning so everyone will know what that word means and different places started with naming different things differently so different languages were created. So it could have been possible that what we know as an apple could have been named a mango if the people had agreed to it as the first and foremost use of a language is to communicate with each other. Grammar and spelling was further added to make the communication much more easier. We have a saying over here which means don’t focus on the words but focus on what the person is trying to say.
This all that I know about languages and I might be wrong about some stuff so someone who is studying this will be able to give you better explanation regarding this.
