Human intelligence and the complexity of native language.

A new born child learns things very faster and the rate of learning new things is very high when the brain is getting developed. It is said that 80% of a child's brain is developed by the age of 3. Children learn things very faster and they use all the five senses and their brain to learn things, One of the fast developing part is the sounds, vocabulary and sentences. They try to identify the patterns of sound and the related actions. Children remember the sound patterns and identify them when the same is repeated. The children who are born and brought up in a joint family where they can hear and interact with different members of the family develop their brains more than those who are brought up in a nuclear family of where there are less number of members.

It is also noticeable that the children who hear to more languages (dual language or more) get their brain developed faster than that of others. Such children will be sharper than children who don't get access to more languages. The script of the native language is also another factor influencing the development of children's brain. Those with a native language having a complicated script structure will be more efficient with regard to solving problems and decision making. People of Japan, China, India etc are known for their level of intelligence. The reason must the the complicated script of their native language. It is a complicated task to learn, identify and use the script of a language. If the language itself is complicated, the level of complexity multiplies many times. Practicing such script patterns to link to corresponding sounds is a good exercise for our brain.

When a child has to lean more languages simultaneously, the exercise again make the brain sharper and the child acquires exceptional powers to use their brain. This is normally happened in India. Most of the states in India have their own separate language or their separate versions of languages. Most of such languages are having different script as well. In addition to learning their language, they are supposed to lean English, and some other language.

The educational system today stresses on teaching subjects related to calculus, science and humanities looking to the career prospects. Language is given importance as a medium of instruction or medium of expression. But the importance of language in molding the level of intelligence of every child is literately ignored. Solving the pattern identification with corresponding sounds; linking sound patterns to the meanings that it represents; the usages of grammar etc. are workouts for the brain. So language learning do have a strong influence on our intelligence and success.
