Many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so.But some things we do know.
First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. Furthermore, in historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language.
Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.

There are, or were, hundreds ofAmerican Indian languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very olD、They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive thanEnglish and Greek.
A、third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate, That is, each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.
Finally, we know that language changes. It is natural and normal for language to change; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time.Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds, and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.
B．All languages can well express their respective cultures.
C．American Indian languages are as sophisticated asEnglish.
D．Some languages are better than other languages.
