Abstract

A society owes its existence to inter-personal relationships among men and a common language brings them together. There are different groups and societies and there are different languages. Some languages are more evolved than others, and this is all
due to different sociological needs. The level of language is determined by cultural standards of living, which account for the difference between a language and its dialects—
that is, between language with standard vocabulary and conventional grammar and
non-standard varieties of the language lacking refinement and grammar. With the development of human society, there cropped up problems of communication as well as realization of social ends. The paper discusses the scope of language widening with the
growing needs of society and inter-personal relationships going beyond local limits.
