Language can be defined in three ways:
1) As a method of human communication, either spoken or written, using words structured in a conventional way (Oxford Dictionary).
2) As a system of communication using sounds, words, and grammar, or the system used by a particular group of people (Cambridge English Dictionary).
3) As the expression of ideas through speech sounds combined into words and sentences, allowing the transmission of culture from one generation to the next, making it the most important symbol of any culture (Henry Sweet).

“The method of human communication either spoken or
written, consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional way.” Cambridge English Dictionary
“ A system of communication consisting of sounds,
words, and grammar or the system of communication used by people in a particular country or type of work” “ Through language, people can transmit their culture from one generation to the next. This makes language the most important symbol in any culture” Henry Sweet (English phonetician and language scholar) “ Language is the expression of ideas by means of speech sounds combined into words. Words are combined into sentences, this combination answering to that of ideas into thoughts.”
