All people including those who live in the forests of the jungle and desert islands use language to communicate. Anything that is done by humans when interacting with his fellow man, whether it's when playing, fighting, screwing or conduct transactions of buying and selling, they talk with face-to-face, sometimes we also talked over the phone.
