what do you think was the very first word people invented ?

I would think names. If we say the mimics and gestures don't count as first words, I think the next most useful thing to have would be names. Ability to function as a group is a huge advantage, being able to differentiate among members would help make plans and carry out complicated tasks. Interesting post!

i think the first word is "oh",the prounciation was very simple,they use the word everyday even they dont know what the word mean

I think the first word that people invented was food. Because it's a primary need that's why they have to express themselves well and be understood by others. Happy posting!!

there are lots of words that could of been first. You could say anyword and it might not be true. Who knows it could of been a language we don't know of or chinese or africans language. Probally there first word was "bannana" LOL. You know it maybe "THE" could of been the first word ever. Its a word that ppl use every day and its the most common word thats been for a very long time.Or it could be a name like "BOB" or "JOHN". Im sure no one knows what the first word my be. We as humans may have not yet discoverd this word. Maybe its a word that we may never know about. Or a language that was lost over millions of years ago. Who noes no one noes for sure.
