Language has become the major tool of communication between countries, cultural groups, varies companies and organizations, communities and friends. Wittgenstein says The limit of my language is the limit of my world. He implies that people those who speaks one language, live only in one world. A baby is born without language, but even without any formal training, at the age of 4 or 5, the child knows several hundred words and grammar of a particular language.

According to Benjamin Whorf Language shapes thoughts and emotions, determining ones perception of reality. Language is a tool to transmit information, learn knowledge, express feelings, emotions, and ideas, construct social identity. As we all know that language plays a great role in the process of transmitting knowledge. Now days, at a very earlier age of the life everybody learns a different different language and this means of communication will be used throughout in order to give and receive knowledge. A quote from The Status of Linguistics as a Science by Sapir summarizes Human beings do not live in the objective world alone, nor alone in the world of social activity as ordinarily understood, but are very much at the mercy of the particular language which has become the medium of expression for their society. Language is a living and dynamic phenomenon, and people have always found ways of expressing their thoughts, feelings even in the most tightly controlled and oppressive societies. In fact language is continuously creating new words in order to define a new concept. To understand this lets have an example, an example of rejection letterfrom university. Besides the sadness is not being accepted, the letter produced feeling like an anger and helplessness just with this phrase From your predicted grades it is clear, I am afraid that an application to us would stand little chance of success. But if the phrase was formulated in another manner like if it is written that it is clear then it would have sorted out a different reaction. Man has rightly been called a talking animal. Man is gifted with the quality of speech, which differentiates him from other living beings. Language consists of words, idioms and syntax. Through language human beings think, feel, judge, and express. In producing this speech man will utter some sounds. These sounds are conventionalized and recognized as common usage and provide the social aspect of a language. In short, language is speech. Language and life are inter related.
