Linguistic Evolution

Linguistic evolution refers to the natural and gradual changes in a language over time. These changes can affect pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and usage. They occur as communities adapt language to new ideas, technologies, and social shifts. Similar to biological evolution, languages evolve through diffusion, innovation, and contact with other languages, resulting in dialects and new languages. This process is ongoing, shaping the way people communicate and understand each other across generations, reflecting cultural history and societal development.
