🔍Languages exist on a scale between being analytic and being synthetic.
🗺️Indo-European languages, such as English and Latin, have experienced a trend towards becoming more analytic over time.
🔢Analytic languages rely on word order and extra words to convey meaning, while synthetic languages make extensive use of inflection.
🌍Not all languages follow the trend of becoming more analytic. Finnish, for example, has maintained its synthetic nature.
🔄Language evolution is influenced by factors such as simplification, sound changes, and the ease of learning for new speakers.
