Thematic Outline

Language and National Identity

Language is basically a system of communication where sound or a sign conveys object and the actions
and also the ideas. It is primarily spoken and not written. It is also believe to be an extraordinary gift by
God which made our civilizations possible.

Language also helps us in conveying ideas to others. This can also to a certain extent be done by the use
of gestures and signs. Language is also evolutionary and never static. There are a lot of different uses in
language and one of this is for communication.

Language is the one distinguishing us that were different from another world. I it also the reason why we
can share our ideas through the other person and without language we could be just like the apes that
points out their finger at what they see.
