Over thousands of years, humans have developed speech, gestures, signs and writings to communicate with each other. Across the globe, there are over sixteen thousand official languages and dialects spoken. Many of the languages and dialects have evolved and adapted throughout the centuries. The methods of communication are heavily influenced by all of the people across time living within specific areas, regions or continents.
Most languages origins can be traced back to ancient languages such as Latin, Germanic, Semitic Iranian etc. These origins are why so many languages use the same or similar words and why the structure and grammar are so familiar.
