Speaking is more than just you, me, yes, no. The many languages across the world are comprised of many words, some of which have the same spelling. Complex communication comes from a broad vocabulary of words that allow us to define a situation or thing more practically and efficiently. Posts will be comprised of vocabulary from all over the world that helps us to extensively open our vocabulary.

Its crazy to think how the world works. We are able to see things change right before our eyes, but when you go to understand what is actually happening, that is when things get skewed. We look back into the history of humanity hundreds and hundreds of years, strange symbols on walls and tablets, languages that hold no meaning in this modern world. There are over six thousand languages, but I could only name maybe 15. It made me thing of how technology has changed so much and how an ever expanding world has had its effect on language. For many European countries English is almost as natural to them as it is us here in america. However, you could go a stones throw away in a place like Canada and all of the sudden everyone is speaking French. The craziest thought is how language, communication, has become so blended. We may have over six thousand languages, many of which are dead, but its incredible that you have over a billion speakers of one specific language on a planet filled with over 6 billion people. One in six compared to one in and undefinable number.
