i'm going to spams about my nerdy interests for like a second

to the point where eventually they were like, "this is what our language will consist of, and this is how you all will talk from now on"-- to the point where everyone learned that language that eventually broke off into dialects that became new languages

but in general, language is so innate to human beings that we are technically capable of speaking all languages, but we are unable to because our mother languages have only given us very specific phonemes

but like, can y'all believe when spoken language was being formed, people really just started talking and began to formulate words and phrases from sounds

i really don't know where this thread is going, i just really love linguistics, and i have a lot of time to think about stuff like this since it's like day ??? of quarantine
