My little cousin and I seem like we speak different languages and have different meanings for all different words. Even though I’m technical “Gen Z”, he just turned 9 and already has his own vocabulary that he learned at school. My mom says it was the same for her and I. Can someone explain if there is an actual science behind this?

The study of the evolution of languages is called Linguistics. Languages are constantly evolving. Modern English is really different from Middle English that was spoken until the 15th century. When a group gets isolated by age, status, culture or territory, differences in their language will start to appear naturally.
