UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
« on: September 23, 2009, 10:23:26 am »
So, somebody asked the question, why are there different languages, I thought it was more interesting that despite the different languages and barriers, people all over the world can communicate even if they don't speak the same language. So, I thought it would be cool to start a forum asking people what Universal Language they know.

For example: most people recognize that someone nodding their head means yes or that they are agreeing to something.

Esperanto was supposed to be a universal language way back when but never really took off.

My husband recently went to China and when he was trying to find something and could not speak their language he used pictures.
