Importance of Language

Language has an undeniable importance in communication, in putting forth ones' ideas before the world. Since times immemorial, authors have inked their ideas in an effective manner using the tool of language and created new horizons of thought for the rest of the world. Whether it is science and technology, literature or history, it is language that has helped people to express their ideas, claim their thoughts or disclaim the thought of their opponents or contemporaries. It is ironical that those who prefer to read books with good language often ignore language reading while in their grammar schools. What we all prefer is to read books that have unambiguous language with no grammatical errors, since coherent language of the books makes it worthy of being read. 

Despite the fact that language is an important tool of expression and communication, if it begins to lose its importance in the modern world, we need to dive into the depth and understand why such a thing happens and how one can contribute in its revival. Let us analyze one of the prime reasons why people are tending to lose their grip on language: In the modern scenario, people usually prefer to use a language that is easily understandable in their colloquial tongue and is as short as possible. Therefore, they tend to give up the attempt to even learn good language and use it. This makes them use more of symbolic and short form words to express themselves and probably even forget the spellings of the words that might be the most simple or be used most. An instance is: using the number ‘4’ for the word ‘for’ and ‘f9’ for ‘fine’. 

It is the requirement of time and that we try to revive language, whether it is written or spoken and use proper words to express our thoughts, for effective expression has its own beauty. Language is beautiful. If it dies out, there will be nothing left for people to communicate in. And then, imagine the ways in which our future generations will express their ideas!
