We all started speaking the same language, but over time, people began to move far away from each other. As they lived in different places and met new people, they changed how they talked, just like when you learn a new way of saying 'hello' at school.
Examples
- A family moves across the ocean, and after a few generations, they start speaking a different language.
- Two friends from the same town speak slightly differently because their families lived on opposite sides of the city for years.
- Children in a classroom learn to use words that sound new to their parents.
