Languages
Languages are systems of communication used by particular communities. Languages can be classified into several types such as natural languages, constructed languages, formal languages, and programming languages. The study of language is known as linguistics.
Natural languages[edit | edit source]
Natural languages are languages that have evolved naturally in a community, typically learned in childhood through the process of socialization. Examples of natural languages include English, Spanish, and Mandarin.
Constructed languages[edit | edit source]
Constructed languages are languages whose phonology, grammar, and vocabulary have been consciously devised by an individual or group, instead of having evolved naturally. Examples include Esperanto and Klingon.
Formal languages[edit | edit source]
Formal languages are languages designed for specific purposes such as mathematical notation and computer programming. They have strict rules about syntax and semantics.
Programming languages[edit | edit source]
Programming languages are formal languages designed to express computations that can be performed by a machine. Examples include Python, Java, and C++.
Linguistics[edit | edit source]
Linguistics is the scientific study of language and its structure. It involves analysing language form, language meaning, and language in context.
