Universal Language

With there being about 6,500 languages in the world, languages are always changing with a new generation. One generation uses words as hot to describe temperature another generation uses hot to describe a man or woman. These are essentially synonyms. They are languages that aren’t fully established as a language that almost everyone in the world knows about. For example the text language; everybody knows what lol, lmfao, and rofl mean, It’s a way for people to socially express how they feel and their reaction.

Let’s take a step away from that concept and let’s see how words end up evolving after time; such as the word “bruh”.Bruh is a way to greet a close friend or a good way to start a good roast. At first the word started out as brother, then people started saying bro, then for small amount of time they said bros, and now has changed to bruh. After some research I discovered that the word bruh was came from San Francisco from everybody’s old favorite retired app Vine; in the 20th century.

Even some phrases are known around the universe, like “a dime a dozen.” This is a term used to define something that isn’t rare, that is plentiful, and not hard to source. “Those wheels on that car a dime a dozen bruh.” Also the phrase “barking up the wrong tree” every kid knows that phrase. Most kids know this because they were either pushing buttons with their parents or adult and the adult replied with, ” your barking up the wrong tree now!” This phrase is mostly used when someone is talking about a topic one person doesn’t want to talk about or irritates them so they.

My most favorite language is the text language! Text language is defined as slang and abbreviated commonly used with texting. I constantly use acronyms like hmu,lmk, and stfu. And I still haven’t found anybody in my generation not know what gtfo, rofl, stfu, lol, and so many more modern texting acronyms. To me this language came up out of no where and blew up faster then gas in a hot room. It’s also used a million times in everyday use by soooo many people in the world.

With there being so many different languages in the world it’s still possible to communicate with other in certain ways, either a hand shake, verbally speaking some words, or facial expressions. There are a million ways to express what you want to say and it’s up to you how clear you make it and who can understand it. For me this project opened up my mind on how universal languages really are and how you can pin point when and where to use certain languages. Such as when speaking to a foreigner it most likely is not the best to use slang. Or when speaking to elders some words have different meanings to them and won’t make sense unless you explain them what you mean, At the end of the day I think it’s best to speak in a language mostly everybody can understand make it very understandable.
