    Language is defined as having rules of grammar, a sound system of phonology, and a vocabulary. People within the same speech community understand each other because they acquire the language used in their community during development. This process is called language acquisition, and the languages acquired are known as mother tongues or first languages. People may later learn additional languages, called second languages, through formal education or informal learning. When people who speak different mother tongues interact regularly, their languages can influence each other through a process of language contact and change.
