device invented to hide our thoughts

A way of communication, mostly made and used by humans. Still, animals (and plants, maybe) have languages of their own.

Language consists of sounds made within the throat and then formed into words to show what one means or is thinking.

There were once easily ten-thousand or more human languages in the world, but humans, through ignorance, prejudice, violence, and neglect, managed to destroy so many languages... thus resulting in 6,000 or so languages today, the vast majority of which are endangered by the likes of English, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, and several other major ones taking over, thus threatening the diversity of human culture.
