How Different Languages Began
A long time ago, humans lived in small groups in different places. They made up their own words and sounds to talk to each other. Since these groups didn’t all meet, their ways of speaking grew in different directions. That’s how languages like English, Hindi, Arabic, Chinese, and hundreds more were born, each shaped by time, place, and people.
Changing, Mixing, and Growing
Over the years, people moved, traded, and explored. This made languages mix, borrow words, and even create new ones. That’s why many English words come from French or Latin, or why you’ll find different versions of the same language, like British and American English. Every language is like a living story, always changing and telling us where people come from.
