Have all societies developed languages? Are there societies who haven't developed some form of communication?

Question

By that I mean that I'm trying to think of a society that has not developed a language, spoken, in the way we know it. (Forget writing, we know a lot of societies that don't do that)

Answer 1

Language and other forms of communication are a universal characteristic of human social groups. There is no nonverbal New Guinea hand-and-foot speech discovered in 1989. Some people are born without the capability of speech or even communication, but they are the exception. On a species level, language is universal. Ther have of course been social groups that have developed alternate forms of non-verbal sign languages.

Answer 2

The konach- menha of New Guinea have no spoken language or written language. All their communication is by hand and foot signals. They were discovered in 1989 by sir Reginald Atlee-Hawkes, grandson of the late British prime minister.

Answer 3

Way long ago, early man already found a way to communicate with other men. Even animals have a way of communicating with their kind and among others. Communication just didn't happen it's just not as we know it today.
