Many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so. But some things we do know.
First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. (1) is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has (2) language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one (3) . Furthermore, in historical times, there has never been a race of men (4) a language.
Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people (5) cultures are underdeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the (6) they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities (7) must have been tens of thousands of years in development.

Many people have supposed that the Indians (10) in a very primitive system of noises. Study has proved this (11) be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them (12) out to be very complicated and very old.They are certainly (13) from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are (14) more primitive that English and Greek.
A third thing we know about language (15) that all languages are perfectly adequate. That is, each one is a perfect (16) of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.

Change goes in all aspects of language. (20) features change as do speech sounds, and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language. [br]
