A written language is the representation of a Language by means of a Writing System .

Written language is an invention, whereas Spoken Language has evolved along with Homo Sapiens . Children will instinctively learn or create spoken (or Gestural ) languages. However, written language must be taught.

Written language always appears as a complement to a specific natural language ( English , French , American Sign Language , etc.) and no purely written languages (with the exception of Computer Language s, which are not natural languages) exist. Nevertheless many Extinct Language s are in effect purely written, since the written form is all that survives.
