visual languages

Visual languages are systems of communication that use images, symbols, or visual elements instead of or alongside words. They help convey meaning quickly and universally, often found in signs, diagrams, or icons. Unlike written or spoken languages, visual languages rely on visual cues to represent ideas, instructions, or concepts, making information accessible across different cultures and languages. Examples include traffic signs, flowcharts, and pictograms. They enhance understanding, especially when language barriers or literacy levels vary, by providing clear, straightforward visual representations of complex information.
