2 min read

Is there a language that has what it takes to become a world language? One that we all speak and all understand? Does the concept of an international language even make sense? What would a language for everyone bring us, what take away from us? We investigate these questions, so to speak, we are legal translation agency manchester go in search of the international language.

The world speaks so many languages

More than 6,700 languages ​​are currently spoken around the world. Thanks to countless people who not only speak their mother tongue , but also one or more foreign languages, we can only communicate across language borders. Without these translators we could hear each other, but not understand each other.

Evidence of the first translations goes back far into pre-Christian times: as early as around 2500 BC, people tried to transfer Semitic characters with the help of special clay tablets. The Bible is one of the earliest translations. The so-called Septuagint was verifiably translated from Hebrew into Greek from the 3rd century BC to the 1st century AD. Legends surround their origin and researchers have several theories. The translation itself is also the subject of research.

Language is alive, it changes with the world that we put into words. Even if one or the other language is dying out for various reasons, the many languages ​​that are still alive make our world colorful. All the more important are the translators for the written word and the interpreters for the spoken word, who let us participate in the colorful world of languages ​​other than ours.
