Language is a tool that has a specific structure of vowel and consonant interplay, made up of utterances that have both general and specific meaning.
Language is a signaling system, made up primarily of words.
Languages are also said to exist in two major types, Analytic , which is based on Word Order in syntactical units, and Synthetic , which is based on word endings. English has gone from being synthetic to analytic over its long history. Synthetic languages are sometimes called inflected languages. Linguistics is the systematic study of the elements of language and the principles governing their combination and organization. This method was conceived by Ferdinand de Saussure , a French linguist who also worked on Indo-European.
