Language is the expression of ideas by means of speech-sounds combined into words. Communication, the expression of identity, play, imaginative expression, and emotional release are the prime functions of the language. Linguistics is a science of language such as descriptive linguistics and historical linguistics. It has now become a highly technical subject that embraces, both descriptively and historically, such major divisions as phonetics, grammar (including syntax and morphology), semantics, and pragmatics, dealing in detail with these various aspects of language. Here, we are giving a list of most spoken languages in the world for general awareness.
