A '''language''' is a [[system]] of arbitrary symbols and the rules used to manipulate them. '''Language''' can also refer to the use of such systems as a general [[phenomenon]]. Though commonly used as a means of communication among people, human language is only one instance of this phenomenon. This article concerns the properties of language in general. For information specifically on the use of language by humans see the main article on [[natural language]].
