Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this
expression of thoughts and feeling has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is
accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words and ideas. Tourists, the deaf and the mute
have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact, and
can be used internationally; spelling, however, can not.
Body language transmits ideas or thought by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way
of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, which shaking the head indicates a negative
reaction.
Other form of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags,
Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people.


While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and
feelings.
