THE HISTORY AND MYSTERY OF LANGUAGE

Language is  God’s greatest gift to human

It’s not the property of a nation or man

You can’t posses it like land

Or keep it like a jewel on your hand

 

The pure languages like Latin and Sanskrit are dead

The resourceful ones like English and Spanish are spread

Every language has got many a dialect and accent

No dialect or accent can claim to be perfect

 

Politeness is the hall mark of any civilized language

Rudeness is intolerable for man in any age

Language is not the monopoly of a tribe

It only helps us to speak and scribe

 

Language helps us to know human history

How humans acquired is a great mystery

It is a great binding force

And human beings’ wonderful resource
