Fair enough, but first we should agree on the fundamentals of that of which we talk.
Language is...
1. a communication system of human culture that allows information to be interchanged that is pertinent to the survival of the breeding group.
2. Words have no absolute meanings and are in a constant state of transition.
3. Language is a function of evolution and cares only for cultural truths.
4. Some languages are better than others.
5. Words serve mainly as cultural adhesives to bring common purpose to the individuals of the breeding groups.
Agreed?
