EuroHiT/Language

From Wikiversity

Definition of the Concept: 'Language' is most commonly expressed by words for the tongue as the most important organ of speech. So regularly in Grk., Lat., Romance, NIr., Slavic; and, beside other words, in Gmc. and Baltic, though here the use, as in NE tongue, ist now mostly poetical or archaic. Others are from verbs for 'speak', a few from words for 'lip' or 'voice'. The majority of these words are used both for a specific 'language' and for the more generic 'language, speech' as a faculty and institution (Buck).
