AEver since humans have lived on the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier (障碍), communication is carried out through sign language in which motions stand for letter, works, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to make use of this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole works are very clear and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits (=sends) ideas or thoughts by certain action, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink (眨眼) can be a way of flirting (传情) or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod means approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic (非语言的) language can be found in Braille (盲文), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs, guide, warn, and instruct people.
While oral speech is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
