Imagine all the people in the world speaking the same language, it would be like everyone having only one color to paint with. But over time, people started moving and meeting new groups, so they began changing their words, sounds, and ways of talking. That’s how many languages came to be!
Why Languages Change
When a group of people moves far away from others, their language changes because they talk differently, like when you live with your cousins for years and start speaking in a way that only the two of you understand.
How New Languages Are Born
Sometimes, one language can split into many. Like how a big family splits up into smaller groups who speak slightly different versions of the same language over time.
