According to some linguists, "noises and gestures" were the initial forms of the communication system through which the primitive people communicated with each other. The history of the language development shows the progression and emergence of the language system. In the initial stages when the man was on the verge of learning things, he started to communicate within their groups through the system of noises and gestures. Later, these gestures and noises took the form of words with the help of the sounds they created. When the majority started to use the same sound to mark or justify an object it took the form of a word. This process moved on and helped in forming phrases, sentences and then the formation of a language as a whole.
