Long ago, people didn’t have words like ‘hello’ or ‘goodbye’. They used simple sounds and gestures to talk. Over time, these sounds grew more complicated, and new words were born. It’s like how kids make up silly phrases when they play, eventually, those silly phrases become real languages.
Examples
- A group of kids playing hide-and-seek invent new words for ‘found’ and ‘hidden.’
- Grandma uses hand signals to tell her grandchild it’s time to eat.
- Two friends make up a funny song to communicate across the room.
