Problems of transforming literature from speech to text

Language is the medium of communication. It is the strongest tool of expression. In the case of animals, there also exists some sorts of verbal communication, but those are not well developed. The major difference between humans and animals is about having developed language for expression.

Languages are of two types. One is Spoken Language, and another is Written Language.

Here, we'll go through some particulars of both and the conflict between these two.

Spoken Language

Languages ​​spoken by people are called spoken languages. Spoken language originates from the very earliest stages of human evolution. At that time, however, spoken languages ​​were not as structured and organised as they are today. Spoken languages ​​have evolved over time to facilitate communication better and took very constructed forms as we can see today.

Particularities

• Spoken languages vary from space to space.
• A native spoken language usually has multiple dialects, i.e. Bengali, Hindi, French, Russian.
• Spoken languages get amalgamated easily
• Grammatical restrictions are not very strict in the case of spoken languages.
• Syllable is the unit of spoken language.

Written Language

The visual form of language is called written language. A language gets its written form by developing some shapes called alphabets. And Alphabets together make words, words together make sentences. Written languages began as inscriptions; we can find traces from the history of ancient civilizations. But those were not like letters, more like paintings and shapes. Thousand years of modification has been taken to come to the recent most advanced written languages.

Particularities

• In written language there are punctuation marks apart from alphabets, words.
• Written language is much more structured.
• Although the original languages have written forms, the dialects do not.
• Evolution in written language is relatively slow.
• Grammar has much more control over written language.
• Written language does not produce mixed language as easily as spoken language.

Conflicts

• All written languages have spoken forms, but all spoken languages don't have written forms.
• As Academics and official works are runned by written languages, spoken languages, especially the dialects become dominated.
• Everything that is spoken, can't have a written presentation.
• The regions where there is a huge diversity of languages and dialects, written language becomes a weapon of suppression over the diversity for those who want to oppress and rule over that region. It kills the diversity slowly and creates inferiority amongst the people who use different dialects as their spoken language.
