Whorf hypothesis in 1956 shows that less vocabulary cause less understanding and less knowledge. For example, Inuits in Alaska categorized snows based on colors, so there are many kinds of words about snow rather than that of other countries. Also, Hopi Indians have less past and future words. It shows that they have value in present. Finally, Philippine is an agricultural country, so there are many words about agriculture and rice. We can see that language can become different according to the cultures and countries. Various words in one field can help other people know how the people who use that language think and what they put emphasis on. Also, if certain word in one field developed in one country, limitation of the language can happen in other countries, because there are no words that can replace those words.
Language is a communication tool, so its adaptive function is to help talk each other, communicators pass information from one generation to another, thus enriching heritage, which, in turn, further develops language and the user's understanding of the world. However, if there is no language what would happen? There would be no society. There would be no name, no words that express our mind, and may be ability to speak would not exist. There would be no communication, no family, and so humans would become vulnerable to survive, because they cannot share information and their ability to develop their brain would disappear.
'Aphasia' is a term used to describe an acquired loss of language that cause problem of speaking, writing, listening, and reading. This problem of using language can cause damage to the brain. Damage to the brain in the left frontal lobe of the language-dominant hemisphere can be affected to spontaneous speech and motor speech control. Left side of the brain is developed the ability to use language, so if someone have disability such as aphasia, the brain suffer damage. Then if there had been no such thing as language, only right side of the brain would work.
To return, if there had been no language, there would be no family. Humans usually depend on family, especially parents for survival. However, to share love each other, people need language. There is no way to express their mind without language. Of course we can express by our body, but without any information, people would not know how to do sexual action and grow child. It is hard to make and grow baby alone, and if people have to learn that by experience, they would usually fail. Then the concept of family will disappear because there would be no connection between parents and baby. People need language to sustain family stably and to save our mind valuing our 'family'. Language does very important work for human living and thinking, so if there is no language, really big disaster could happen. Maybe we would be extinct just like dinosaur. Abstract things such as emotion, feeling, and imagine are something that can not define with language, because they can be different according to the situation and environment. However we can explain that kind of abstract things to others. People experience 'love', 'happy', 'sad', 'angry', so we are able to name these things with language, and understand these word. Thanks to the language, we can embody abstract things and it help us communicate more naturally and easily. Also. it helps us to share our thinking to others very closely and respond accurately.
