It\u2019s this interesting \u2013 it really is a technology. It\u2019s a thing you do on top of language to do stuff with language, but it\u2019s not the language itself. There are thousands and possibly millions of languages that have never been written down in the history of humanity. We have no idea. We\u2019ve never met a society of humans, or heard of a society of humans, without language. But those are spoken and signed languages, which are just kind of there.
