A Brief Introduction to the Semitic Languages
The purpose of this article is to present these languages, their history, and their significance. These languages are not mutually intelligible, meaning that they cannot be understood from one language to another without the aid of translation, though they share etymologies (Wood). Even within Arabic itself, there is tremendous diversity and issues of intelligibility. This results in a bright and vivid bouquet of languages.
Plastic Surgery: Low Self-Esteem?
Low self-esteem is defined as having no confidence. It is when people feel like they are not enough and wish something about them would disappear. However, just because someone does not love something about themselves, it does not necessarily mean they feel worthless. A person can hate the way their nose looks or how their lips are thin and at the same time feel confident about themselves. So, does getting plastic surgery mean having low self-esteem? Does making changes to the body create confidence, or does it mean the person is insecure?

From sonnets to speeches to heart-quivering soliloquies, language is endowed with the ability to inspire, infuriate, assimilate, separate, or define the elusive human condition. Language is so much a part of our existence that its presence can slip under the beams of our attention, but its structure, its acquisition, and its origins have been the subject of intense debate among linguists for innumerable generations. Here, we will excavate this final question of language – its origins. This is because the machine that is language, and how it made itself indispensable to humanity has spanned various scientific disciplines, from linguistics to genetics.
