Chapter IV, Languages of the Future Mu Primer Manuscript, pp. Our languages set us apart from all other species.
Human societies are what they are, in large measure, because of their languages.
If we had not developed our languages, we would still be living in animalistic or primitive states. Our languages have enabled us to build the social, economic, political, industrial, technological, scientific, legal, and philosophical systems that are the fabric of our present-day civilizations. The evolution of our civilizations has been related in many ways to the evolution of our languages. In the last few decades we have seen a rapid acceleration in the evolution of our languages. The use of English around the world is increasing faster than any other natural language.
