languages

I have always been very interested in languages. To me, different languages and accents are beautiful. I find very interesting how there are so many places that have spanish as their official language but at the same time, they each have their a distinct accent. I also find amusing how two different languages can be so similar at the same time. For example, English and Spanish are very different. However, there are certain words that are the same in both languages such as "hospital" and "hotel". Also, there are words that are not written exactly the same but one can still see they are alike such as "moribund" which is "moribundo" in Spanish. Languages are much more than a tool of communication, they are part of our culture and of our history.
