A language system consists of a set of codes thatare sounds and written symbols. People in one country or region may speak a differentlanguage from those in another country or region. We often have the difficulty of communicatingwith people who speak a different language. This forms the language barrier. That's whywe have to learn a foreign language that is spoken by the people from another country. Most languages have both oral or spoken, and written forms. Take English forexample. Oral English is its spoken form while written English is its written form. But afew languages have only spoken forms, but lack written ones. A modern language is a language that is still spoken today while a dead language is alanguage that is no longer spoken. Latin is a dead language, which is the language of theancient Romans.
