Language and Life of Sangam People

Abstract

A non-linguistic human race cannot exist anywhere on earth, animals and even birds have developed their own language in the form of sound. A human cannot be freed from language even for a singke moment. The reason behind is that without language a man cannot think. Language is a natural product of human society, and language is a medium that can be used for the exchange of ideas between people. Knowledge of vernacular is also essential in today's world to communicate with people of different linguistic backgrounds who may be living in different parts of the world. It is the nature of every person born in the world to respect their mother in a high place and that is why it is natural to consider anything that enriches the life of the people as equal to the mother. Birds and animals communicate with each other through certain sounds and their emotions such as fear and desire are expressed through sounds and it varies according to different situations. So, it is not possible for birds and animals to express ideas clearly. Among the creatures living on earth, only human beings are in a position to convey feelings and ideas to others accurately. Thus, language is the basic tool for communication between the human beings.
