Language as a Living Organism

As we start studying language, we learn to see it not only as a set of words that we use to communicate with others, but also as something that was born, started growing with time, in some cases gave birth to different dialects or experienced death. In this case we can say that language has it’s own life. For example, let’s compare it with a tree. If we want to have a plant …

…you don’t want, it’ll start fading until it disappears. Language can sometimes be compared to the stages of growth of any living organism; it needs our effort and dedication to keep it from fading away and instead grows stronger. It only depends on us, the ones who use it, to give languages the value they deserve and understand that if it wasn’t for languages we couldn’t be able to express ourselves.
