How many kinds of
language are there?
How many kinds of language are there? It depends on
how you categorize them. Language is sending and receiving signals which carry
information. If you categorize them by receiving method, then there are three.
Although human have five sense organs: eyes, ears, tongue, skin, and nose, we
commonly receive signals through sight and touch modes.
If you categorize language by the durability of
signals, there are two. One is dynamic, like speaking and body language (sign
language). The other is permanent, like writing and Braille. So there are four
kinds of languages: speaking, writing, sign language, and Braille.
Sign language and Braille are mainly used for hearing and
visually impaired people. For other people there are two kinds of language -
speaking and writing.
