Language allows us to communicate what we think, what we want, what we feel, and what we have learnt. Some 100,000 years ago, humans began speaking. Since then, we have developed nearly 7,000 languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLanguages are living things; they evolve and change over time. They even travel! People carry their language with them and spread it. Large language families even have their own family trees, such as Spanish, French, and English. Different languages can be mixed and combined to create new languages with similar words, pronunciation, and grammar rules. Languages can even become extinct if they are not shared and learnt by each new generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpoken languages are not the only way we communicate. Sign language, braille, symbols, music, art, and computer codes - humans have invented numerous ways of communicating. Sharing feelings, thoughts, and ideas through the power of language is an essential part of being human.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLanguage Around the World\u003c\/em\u003e by Gill Budgell explores these themes, providing a captivating journey through the world of language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46354905235692,"sku":"9780241617144","price":24.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/27970773482273.jpg?v=1744291430"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/gill-budgell.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
