If man is a knower and an efficient doer, it is only because he is also a talker In order to be Faber and Sapiens, Homo must first be loquax, the loquacious one. Without language we should merely be hairless chimpanzees. Indeed we should be some thing much worse. Possessed of a high IQ but no language, we should be like the Yahoos of Gulliver's Travels- Creatures too clever to be guided by instinct, too Self-centered to live in a state of animal grace, and therefore condemned forever, frustrated and malignant, between contented ape-hood and aspiring humanity. It was language that made possible the accumulation of knowledge and the broadcasting of information. It was language that permitted the expression of religious insight, the formulation of ethical ideals, the codification to laws, It was language, in a word, that turned us into human beings and gave birth to civilization.

Title: Importance of language

Man without language would be an animal, an uncivilized and intelligent being. Language made him an intelligent being and the creator of tools. It enabled man to receive knowledge and information. It also provided him conduit to express his views, knowledge and information. Besides, it enabled him to enact ethical and legal norms. Therefore, language transformed an animal into a civilized and intellectual being.



Critical reviews are anticipated.

Be specific to it.
and here, " religious clerics, politicians and others consider," the word "others" shows getting off of the topic. Don't add foreign senses to the preci.
Hope it helps!
P.S. i prefer to write preci in the Past.
