Language is a communication system, a means of thought, a

means of literary expression, a subject of political debate and

a factor in the formation of concepts. Here are some
definitions of language given by different scientists from
several countries: The eminent German philosopher Hegel
said that "language is the art of theoretical intelligence in the
truest sense because it is its outward expression." American
linguist L. Bloomfield stated that language allows one person
to express his reaction to another's stimulus. Everything
depends on the methodological point of view of the
researcher and the goals he sets for himself in determining
the language. Language is a purely human and non-instinctive
way of communicating ideas, emotions and desires through a
voluntarily created system of symbols. These symbols are
primarily auditory and are produced by the "speech organs".
We should not be fooled by the mere term. Strictly speaking,
there are no organs of speech; organs useful only incidentally
in the production of speech sounds. The lungs, larynx, palate,
nose, tongue, teeth, and lips are used in this way, but no
longer need to be thought of. Theories about the origin of
language are primarily discussed in secular writing from a
linguistic perspective. When discussing linguistic origins,
some biblical originists will often confuse tongues and
languages. However, the Bible shows that there were two
different miraculous events: the initial creation of Adam as a
speaking and understanding being; and the division of
mankind into linguistic groups in judgment of the rebellion of
Noah's descendants. It was Noam Chomsky who revived
interest in man's ability to speak universally, and he restored
balance by criticizing the "blank slate" position of Skinner and
others, saying that it was insufficient to explain all the facts.
Now the question arises, why language is the most important
means of human communication? If we analyze non-linguistic
means of communication, the answer will be clear.
Conveying meaning, conveying important concepts not only
through language, but also through sign writing, Morse code,
sign language and signal fires, etc. with, that is, it can be
done with unrelated devices. The entire sign system is an aid
to language. To answer the second part of the question, why
language is the most important means of human
communication, let us consider the so-called "language" of
animals. It should be emphasized that the cries of animals are
characterized by immutability and monotony. Since ancient
times, dogs bark, cats meow, lions and donkeys cry alike,
while all languages have evolved to some degree. Human
language, unlike animal cries, exhibits infinite variability both
in time and space. Therefore, language is the most important
communication tool of people. Communication and language
are different. Language helps you communicate. Language
allows the mind to condense and efficiently manage
thoughts, and then serves as a vehicle for communicating
those thoughts to the world. Communication is a broader
concept than language. The purpose of language is to provide
one of the basic elements needed for communication, but
communication is the goal. (Finnerty, 1991) Language is a
tool, communication is a goal. The formation of literary
language is usually marked by certain standards, such as the
establishment of schools that teach correct speech. The
oldest literary languages are Sumerian, Assyro-Babylonian
and Egyptian. Literary language was accessible only to a small
part of the population and did not have a very deep impact
on the development of the vernacular. It should be noted
that the concepts of literary language and common language
do not coincide. Literary language is opposite to spoken
language and common language is opposite to dialect.
