So fundamental is the existence of
written and oral forms of language to the development of humanity that almost
every scholar considers the invention of language as one of, if not the most
important invention in history.
The existence of language is a primary distinction between the human species
and all other higher order life on planet Earth. While many higher order life
forms exhibit language components such as whale song, dolphin chatter and some
primates, no other species has yet been shown to possess even the most
rudimentary languages compared to the most ancient of human species.
Language has been our way of communicating common ideas, of learning, of
remembering, of discovering and thinking. Every great civilization on Earth has
had at its core, some kind of language or languages. See More...

Structure of
language assists or restricts the rate of idea transmission
Not only does language restrict or open our choices of how to describe various
ideas, the actual medium of language also affects the rate of idea
transmission.
For example, if I speak say in English, then the normally accepted rate of word
speech recognition is around 1 to 2 words per second. Providing each word
represents an idea, that means around 1 to 2 ideas per second.
In terms of the written word, the general rate of word comprehension is around
the same, or up to 120 words (ideas) per minute for speed reading.
In contrast, medical research has established that the human brain is capable
of firing neuron impulses associated with cognitive function at a rate of at
least 1/100,000th a second.
