Spoken language

From Free net encyclopedia

A spoken language is a human language in which the words are uttered through the mouth. Almost all languages are spoken languages. Computer languages and sign languages are not spoken languages.

The term spoken language is often used in contrast to written language; the world's most widely spoken languages all have written forms. The difference between the spoken and written versions of a language can sometimes be quite extreme.
