Languages are like families that grow and change over time. When people talk to each other every day, new words can be born or old ones can fade away. Sometimes groups of people move far apart, and their language becomes different, just like how cousins might speak differently from their parents.
Examples
- A group of kids invent a new word for their favorite snack while playing together.
- An old man from a village speaks differently than his grandchildren because the language changed over time.
- People who move to another country start adding new words from their host language into their own.
