Kukulkan city writing — The written language on a wall in Kukulkan's city

"...the only tool diplomacy has is language."

Countless different spoken, written, and gestural languages were used by different cultures throughout space. Generally, universal translators were able to surmount the language barrier between different groups, allowing interstellar society to exist. They were not always successful, however. ^{(citation needed • edit)} The study of language was known as linguistics.

Children often found new languages easier to learn than adults did. (TNG: "Dark Page")
