Imagine a time when people only used simple sounds to talk, like 'mama' and 'papa'. These early words are thought to be the start of what we now call the first language. Over many years, these simple sounds grew into full languages, and today’s communication has roots in that ancient beginning.
Examples
- A baby says 'mama' to call their mother.
- People use 'hello' to greet each other every day.
- A child counts with the word 'one'.
