The idea that humanity originated in Africa and spread throughout the world raises the possibility that languages originated and spread in a similar manner. Prehistoric According to the mother tongue theory of language origin, human migrations seem to have contributed to the current diverse distribution of languages around the world.
The languages seem to have started out as simple sounds that later developed into morphemes and words. Sentences were constructed using words to complement gestures and improve expression accuracy.The movement of people to various parts of the world has resulted in the introduction of numerous word variations, the acceptance of new terms, patterns and styles for combining words into sentences, usages, and grammars based on the setting and the relationships between the local population. Therefore, different and complicated languages have been created as a result of evolution, migration, and diverse settings.
The emergence of the speech-related gene FOXP2 is thought to have led to the evolution of the earliest oral/spoken languages some 130,000 years ago. In the beginning, oral communication predominated, including literature and education. Writing eventually developed around 5000 years ago as a result of the requirement for maintaining corporate records as well as the preservation and archiving of literature.
According to linguists like Meritt Ruhlen (1994), all currently spoken languages have a common ancestor, and words that are similar across languages typically arise from divergent evolution from a single earlier language.
The majority of the fundamental morphemes (word components) and words came from early civilizations and expanded over the world in tandem with trends and patterns of human migration and settlement.
One of the earliest civilizations that evolved and thrived between 6000 and 2000 BC is thought to have been the Sumerian civilization, which was located in the Mediterranean valleys of the Euphrates and Tigris (today parts of Iraq and Iran). Other places of the world, such as India, may have had contemporaneous or older civilizations, although this information is lacking.
We can anticipate to find some of the fundamental Tulu morphemes and words in the oldest civilizations, such as those that were established close to the region of northern Africa where mankind originated, in light of the fundamental hypothesis of the development of words and languages given above.
