How the heck did we make up our own languages back Thousands of years ago.

How did we make up: a mountain is called a mountain? We just looked at this massive thing and were like *grunt* *grunt* and then we get the name Mountain for that massive thing?

So yeah we make up this language(any language not just english.) and we add more and more to it. How do you teach it? The person next to you. You're trying to teach is thinking in his mind like what is this guy trying to do ? how the...what the...huh...? Hmmm i know they used their previous method of speaking/communication with their peers to teach...Oh well anyway, Wait uhmm, man my mind is all over the place right now...ANYONE know a Huge topic to write about, where i can take a stand on and just rant on about it? Such as, homosexuality, war in Iraq, and the media. and all that good stuff?

ask a philosist about language. Sanskrit etc... we as humans are social and want to communicate. a huge current event topic. Rev. Wright's speech.

We're genetically wired to be able to parse language (i.e. syntax).

The ability to pick up languages is not a cultural invention, though whatever language you pick up is a cultural invention.

The idea is if you place a bunch of babies together with no adult contact, they will eventually create a language among themselves.

It's something we evolved probably due to socially driven evolution.
