The language (any language such as Spanish) is, as we have seen, a system of signs that speakers learn and retain in his memory. This is a code known each speaker-listener, for use when needed. This code, known and respected by all who speak a language, you can encrypt and decrypt messages.

Is a form of specific language forms. Its nature is essentially oral, no clutch to perpetuated by the writing becomes language media for picture and marginalization for the illiterate.

Also, the language enables communication between members of a linguistic community which allows or may not coincide with political boundaries and geographical of the State.

Language is the ability that everyone has to communicate with others through oral signs (and, if their cultural development permits, also written). It is therefore a human right, whether in speech, use one language or another (English, Spanish, Chinese ...).
Do not say, then, "Spanish language", "English language", etc. The term language should be used only in the precise sense we have defined.
The language is the set of means enabling the man to express his thoughts, feelings and experiences. Also defined as the set of communication systems consisting of various forms: drawings, gestures, sounds, movements, cultural processes (myths, legends, art, monuments, etc.). Some authors reduce it to the biological function of the relationship, and therefore speak the language of animals (bees, ants, dolphins), and even, some people believe that culture is a language, because in each of its branches and demonstrations with a message, ie, a meaning.
For its part, the dictionary of the Royal Academy of Spanish Language says that language becomes the set of articulated sounds which man expresses what he thinks or feels. Style and manner of speaking and writing of each individual. Use speech or ability to speak. Set of signals that suggest something
Language is a social institution, it can only exist in society, as a tool of human communication. Like other social institutions such as family, language can be very broad, even universal, but varies from one community to another, each of which manifests itself differently. In addition, the pressure is constantly changing and diverse needs of other communities also.
The language has different manifestations in different communities that exist on Earth, each of these manifestations is called language or language. Languages ​​or languages ​​are, therefore, Spanish, English, Chinese, etc. In Spain there are four languages ​​or languages: Castilian (which, being the official language common to the whole nation, is also called Spanish), Catalan, Galician, Galician and Basque, or Euskera, which are official in their respective territories.
