Through the media of speech and gesture, language is capable of conveying a great deal of information, from emotions to scientific knowledge, using highly developed means of communication. Not only reflecting cultural diversity but also giving rise to human cognitive ability and creativity, language is an irreplaceable asset of humanity. This exhibit invites people to experience the richness of the world of language and the languages of the world through interactive displays.
