Language springs from within people, making it a uniquely human possession. Every known society has language. All humans are born with an aptitude for learning language and a strong motivation for learning it early in life. They learn their native speech or mother tongue from older people actually using language as they go about their lives.
         What makes a language important is the importance of the people who use it and the uses to which they put it.  Language is very versatile and adaptable and all walks of life from scholars and mystics to laborers and mechanics can make use of the same language to carry on their work, their social life, their thoughts, and their recreations.
            Like other human institutions, language is adjusted by long use to the particular needs of the people and the society that uses it. When these needs change, the language also changes. With an inventive person and a group of speakers to pick up a new word and use it, language changes from one period to another or from one language to another. Language is constantly changing. Just as new words keep coming into the language, old ones keep going out of use and eventually out of memory.

"Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon His name. And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him." (Malachi 3:16, 17)
