	'''Language''' is how living beings communicate, combining [[Lynguistykon: Language#Words\|words]] and usually [[Lynguistykon: Language#Intonation\|intonations]] to record or transfer meaning. How those words and intonations present themselves varies very widely among species, cultures, and even individuals. Language can be audibly, visually, or otherwise sensorily communicated (communicators of a language may be referred to as "speakers" of that language regardless of means of communication). Language can be the means by which a living being communicates internally, as well.

Language can be the means by which a living being communicates internally, as well.

	===Words===		==Words==
	Communication usually involves many '''words''' put together to communicate a complete idea or multiple ideas together. A '''word''' is a recognizable communication holding an idea/meaning, that can thereby be transferred. A '''morpheme''' is likewise a recognizable communication holding an idea/meaning that can thereby be transferred, but it is the smallest unit of language that does so. So all morphemes can be seen as words, but not all words are morphemes, since a word can also be composed of multiple morphemes (note that in many languages, although all morphemes carry identifiable meaning, not all morphemes are ''used'' as standalone words due to linguistic conventions or because they require pairing to transfer ''sufficient'' meaning). Similarly, depending on the language a unit of language called a '''letter''' may serve as a building block only conveying sufficient meaning combined together with other letters to form morphemes/words, or otherwise a letter may already essentially serve as a morpheme/word itself, with a basic identifiable meaning that stands on its own and that can then be combined with other letters to present deeper or altered meanings.

	===Intonation===		==Intonation==
	'''Intonation''' is '''tone''' attached to words to either deeper or alter their meaning. It can be specifically designed into a language's structure (with tones then serving much as ''established'' [[Lynguistykon: Language#Words\|morphemes]], [[Lynguistykon: Affixes\|affixing]] words and modifying them) or simply a manifestly understood facet of communication in a language.

	===Writing===		==Writing==
	'''Writing''' is the recording of language visually in a way that meaning can be facilely retrieved from later. Many different systems of writing exist for languages, but the Lynguistykon and other written works related to Somewhere Else usually use a uniform system of writing in general in order to be accessible.

Dialects vary by communicator, and usually similar or the same dialects are held by people with something in common, such as a shared geographic origin, a common education, or a shared clan background. A communicator may be able to communicate in more than one dialect, such as in the case of someone who has lived in more than one location or who has studied another dialect. Communicators of dialects of the same language are usually mutually understandable by each other, in some cases without any study and in others (depending on how different things appear) requiring some study to be able to understand the alternate manifestations of that language.

	'''Peoplespeak''' is a form of Popular Language used to standardize words for things, such as [[Floraunabook (Flora): Yolkfruit\|Yolkfruit]], so that the same idea/meaning can be understood by speakers across different languages irrespective of their language's more native word. Some Peoplespeak words are literal translations of what something is, while other Peoplespeak words are commonly-held poetic ways of representing something. A word's Peoplespeak version in that language can be used directly in that language, but it is also very common, perhaps even more common, that the Peoplespeak version of the word from the [[Lynguistykon: Popular Language\|Popular Language]] of the time is used mixed in with words from the language one is speaking. It's easiest to understand this all via examples, which can be found on the [[Lynguistykon: Peoplespeak\|Peoplespeak]] page.
