Like other animals, humans also started the journey of their lives from the forest. They did know nothing but hunting for their survival. There was no technology, no weapons. Physical strength was everything for them. Running behind the animals, catching them, killing them and eating them – that was their life and routine. Their lives were not better than any animals. They were doing the same things what other animals were doing for their survival.
They were thinking about the food and running behind the animals only when they felt hungry. In that process, many people were losing their lives out of hunger, because, it was not possible for them to get animals every time they felt hungry. And multiple times they were getting attacked by other ferocious animals and losing their lives and becoming the food of other animals. Everything or everyone in nature is food for something or someone. Either you are using something for your food for your survival or something or someone is using you for the food for their survival. The life expectancy was very less. If you are weak, you become the food, and if you are strong, you make someone or something your food.
Men have some physical advantage, they can run faster and longer and can catch the animals more than women. Externally, the male appears strong and stout, but internally, women are far stronger than men. The ratio of the survival of a female foetus is more than a male foetus. This is because of their internal strength.
People at that time, could not settle in one place, because, they had to travel from one place to another in the search of the animals. Men were somewhat comfortable with that nomad lives, but women were not comfortable with such kind of lives, because of their physical constraint. There was no concept of storing the food for future and settling in one place because they had no any other known source of food than hunting animals. They had to travel from place to place in the search of their food without any alternative.
Due to the emotional nature of women, they did not like people dying out of hunger. They started thinking about the storing of food. They thought that instead of capturing and killing the animals when we are hungry, why not we go for the hunting when we are well-fed and catch as many animals as we can. Not to kill them, just catch and tie them and when we would feel hungry, we kill and eat them.
Wow..! Great... that is a fantastic idea. By doing so, fewer people would die of hunger. But to convey that idea, a language was required. By that time, no language was developed. They used to communicate through their non-verbal communication. And that non-verbal communication was not sufficient enough to convey that pristine and advanced idea to everyone and convince them for its implementation.
Ladies started working on language. They developed language and taught that to the world. That is why what the language we speak is called mother language or mother tongue, not father language or father tongue.
Women could develop the communication language because of the extra facility of their brain. Our brain is divided into two parts - left brain and right brain. We speak, because of the verbal centre in our brain. Male brain has only one verbal centre on the left side of the brain. Females have two verbal centres in their brain – both in the right and left brain. Due to this facility, women can speak tirelessly for a longer time; they can use more words in their communication. Language is the means of expression. They can explain and express the things through language better than men can.
Women talk almost three times as much as men, with the average woman chalking up 20,000 words in a day - 13,000 more than the average man. The typical frequency ranges used in the spoken word are; 150 Hz to 6,000 Hz for men and 350 Hz to 8,000 Hz for women. No surprise they developed the language. And we call that language our mother language or mother tongue.
The most powerful thing which changed the destiny and direction of the human race is - language and communication skill. This is the best gift given by women to the world. For which men should be indebted to women. Due to this incredible gift, ladies are revered as Vak Devi, the goddess of speech.
