Spoken languages are oral communication systems, written languages use characters and symbols to represent words, signed languages use gestures and signs, and programming languages are used to write instructions for computers.

A system of symbols used to communicate is called a "language." Languages can be spoken, written, or signed and consist of a set of symbols (such as words or gestures) that convey meaning. Examples include natural languages like English and Spanish, as well as constructed languages like Esperanto.
