The period of evolution of languages is 30000 to 70000 years back from today, when there was no language, and humans themselves were converting from animal to human and communicating using different natural modes (including facial expression, gestures, and vocalization). Sound was one of them. The natural process of formation of words is very simple. An observer observes an object. The visuals are perceived in the form of a sequence of psychological feelings. Phonosemantics (the natural converter) provides appropriate phonemes to these different psychological feelings, and the sequence of feelings is converted into appropriate sequence of phonemes (or sounds). The sequence of those phonemes is called a word. For example, a group of people was passing through a forest. On their way, their movement was restricted by a ‘pond’ or a ‘wet place’. The sequence of psychological feelings will be; “clarity in acceptability of restriction in moving further”. According to phonosemantics, we have ‘clarity’ = /g/, ‘acceptability’ = /ɒ/, and ‘restriction’ = /b/. In all they named it /bɒg/ (clarity of acceptability of restriction). As on today, the phenomenon seems to be a bit difficult, because we already have a known word ‘bog’ for ‘pond’ or ‘wet place’.
Formation of languages depends on the following seven factors:
(1) Phonosemantics (meaningfulness of every sound).
(2) Biological needs (geographical situation, food, act and sex)
(3) Biological availability (vocal and listening organs, environment).
As regards animals of the same species, the first five factors are the same. That is why “the overwhelming majority of animals are born knowing how to speak their species’s language. It doesn’t really matter where those animals are born or raised, because their speech seems to be mostly imprinted in their genetic code”. As regards animals of different species, we have differences in factors from 2 to 5, but factor 1 (phonosemantics) remains unchanged. A goat may not understand the psychological message of a lion’s roaring. But the evolution of fear cannot be denied. The evolution of fear because of roaring sound is due to phonosemantics which is applicable to all entities including a goat, a lion, and a human. As regards humans, we have differences in factors from 2 to 7, which is the reason for difference in languages.

(5) Psychological availability (ego, courage, faith, religion, and social values).
(6) Intellectual needs (curiosity, purpose).
(7) Intellectual availability (education, notions).
