Communication is an important thing between persons or animals. Does a solitary human need communication? Does he have something to communicate? He needs language for speaking across time and distance. We have words. Animals do not have words (we believe), but they can communicate with sounds and signs. We can do that too. You can read my words because they are written. I am writing because I love Cornwall and the Cornish language. Why are you reading my words? Do you want to learn my beautiful language? I can read words written many years ago and hear voices of our forefathers in them. They speak to me across many years. (Though sometimes the handwriting is difficult to read!)
