Language and Languages

"Language" refers to a system of communication used by a specific group of people, including spoken words, gestures, or symbols, to share thoughts and feelings. "Languages" are the various such systems used worldwide, like English, Spanish, or Mandarin. Each language has its own unique rules, vocabulary, and structure, allowing people to express ideas and connect with others within their community. Think of language as the tool we use to communicate, and languages as the different versions of that tool adapted to different groups, cultures, and regions.
