 Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech. A 
little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language. Human beings have 
been writing (as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) for at least 5000 years; but they have been talking for

there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write; 
any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk: a normal human being 
cannot be prevented from doing so. On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write. In the past many 
intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages with

writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only

has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes possible the records that any civilization must have. Thus, if 
speaking makes us human, writing makes us civilized.
