[QUOTE="Kairos, post: 180096, member: 10263"] Human language is an evolutionary adaptation. It's intrinsic to our species. This is why every natural language is essentially the same language with a few variations to the lexicon, morphology, and grammar. The way the language is constructed is the same. The language is also unique to our human body, our senses, and the environment in which we evolved. An alien would likely share little or nothing in common with us. There is no common ground around which languages can be translated to one another. You might be able to communicate plain facts, like [I]Earth is the third planet[/I], but nothing abstract or meaningful. You'd have to create a lingua franca and that would take a very long time to develop, requiring both sides to come to some kind of understanding of one another's biology and psychology (if the other side even has a psychology).
