Think about how you would do any of the things you do every day in your life without language, without thinking. Like writing letters, talking to others, shopping. The very thing that as a human distinguishes you from other forms of life and makes it possible for you to communicate with others. In fact, language is one of the most important things which helps humans to do countless things which other species can not do.

Language is what makes us human. Maybe it’s the only thing that makes us human. Humans were the first to invent language! But here’s the thing: not one person decided to make up language. It was made as a medium to make it possible to transfer an idea from a person to another. The process of forming took some time for it to catch on which eventually led to many different languages and letters which we have today. Each typeface or a set of one or more fonts, are in one or more sizes, designed with stylistic unity, each comprising a coordinated set of glyphs and usually comprises an alphabet of letters, numerals, and punctuation marks; it may also include symbols, or get composed entirely of them. We use letters and symbols while talking, playing an instrument, as well as body language, sign language, paralanguage, eye contact, writing and, the subtitle of a silent film all, are communication methods which are consist of signs and letters. That is why letters in languages are a spectacular part of being human.
