Society’s foundation is language. Without language one can’t even think up a society. The climate of a place, its rivers and mountains, its cold and hot weather and other seasonal conditions, all together develop a special soul in its living beings, which leaves its mark on their appearance, behavior, thoughts and nature, and to express themselves they create a special language or dialect. In this way the direct relationship of our language is with our soul. We may even say that language is the outward image of our soul. It is our face,
similar to our self is drawn from our soul. In each of its letters is the light of our soul. As our soul develops, our language too becomes mature and strong. At the beginning those who communicated with gestures, started to express themselves with letters, then they write philosophy and perform couplets shayari. And when eras change and we leave that place and go spread in the other parts of the world, our behavior too changes. Still language stays with us, and for all those who speak the same tongue it generates an affinity, intimacy, closeness and a sentiment amongst them.
