Labyrinth
Instinct urged us to make the first sounds and words followed. The intellect drove it further and those first grunts and scratches became writing and language that would inspire culture and invention.
Did the god Mercury bring us language? Did someone have a bite of the forbidden mushroom in the garden of Pangea and language was one of the results of that history shaping event?
“A hypothesis put forward by Professor Joseph Greenberg and his colleagues (Stanford University) holds that the original mother language
developed in Africa among early Homo sapiens. Their ‘Proto World’ map would show how Homo sapiens spread across the world, taking their language with them. That single language, which the Professor
calls the Mother Tongue or proto-world, diverged naturally over time into the several thousands of diverse forms spoken today.” Excerpt taken from https://www.angmohdan.com/the-root-of-all-human-languages/
We are constantly shaping the world with a set of symbols or constructs that was either passed on from our parents or teachers or learnt during our lifetimes. We use language every day in our every thought and action.
Music is a language, Art is a language, maths is a language, even the computer you are using has a language it uses to operate. The Universe speaks to us by using a multitude of dialects. More often than not we just don’t hear it over and above our own noise levels.
We shape language and language shapes us.
