What would a Life Without Words look like?
There’s something refreshing behind imagining a life without words —one where you can’t be misled by the maze of language. Words can be used to confuse, to lie, to mislead — without them, the only thing left for us to communicate intent and our character with is our actions.
Do other languages have words that the English language does not have?
There are plenty of brilliant words used in other languages that have no English equivalent. Then again, there are plenty of words that the English language has that other languages lack. And then there are languages that lack some of what we might consider the most fundamental words—yet somehow manage to get by without them.
Are there any languages that have never established words?
The only languages that might not have established such words are primitive ones that have not evolved into a complete linguistic set. These are languages that we do not have extensive knowledge of, except in written form (e.g. cuneiform, maya glyphs).
Can You Say Yes and no without a separate word?
To English speakers, the fact that a language can do without separate words for yes and no might seem bizarre, but it’s not all that rare a phenomenon. The Irish language, for instance, has no direct translations of “yes” and “no,” and instead gives affirmative and negative answers simply by reiterating the verb in the question.
