Abstract
- The article presents information about language. Humans are capable of speech because their voice boxes sit lower than on other primates, giving them a large resonating system. The location of the human voice box prevents simultaneous breathing and swallowing. The Mandarin language has the most speakers at 845 million speakers, but English is the most prevalent language on the Internet.
