	Humboldt Study Kawi Language
		His method, therefore, was to penetrate to the innermost the Kawi language, which represented the highest expression of the Indian-Sanskrit language cultural influence, but from the standpoint of the “indigenous element,” which Humboldt recognized must be the basis of the identity of the language group as a whole.
		Since language is the most immediate form of activity which man invents to communicate with others, and to investigate the universe, then the form in which a people shapes its language most immediately expresses the national character of that people.
		Language is a living organism, a form of energy, which changes, develops, and also in some cases, degenerates, in the course of a people’s evolution.

		His services to his native language are still gratefully acknowledged by every German etymologist, and his Dictionary, (although since much improved by Voss and Campe,) has been declared as great a boon to Germany, as the united labours of the Academy had been able to oiler to France.
		To each language, too, is prefixed a catalogue of the chief philological or etymological works which treat of its peculiarities; and thus abundant suggestions are supplied for the prosecution of more minute researches into its nature and history.
		His proficiency in languages was, however, very great, in consequence of his early and constant application to history, and his matchless memory I have spoken of both in.

	Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt - LoveToKnow 1911
		Another work on what has sometimes been termed the metaphysics of language appeared from his pen in 1828, under the title of Ober den Dualis; but the great work of his life, on the ancient Kawi language of Java, was unfortunately interrupted by his death on the 8th of April 183 5.
		What Humboldt terms the inner form of a language is just that mode of denoting the relations between the parts of a sentence which reflects the manner in which a particular body of men regards the world about them.
		It is the task of the morphology of speech to distinguish the various ways in which languages differ from each other as regards their inner form, and to classify and arrange them accordingly.

	Chronicles of Love & Resentment CCXXXII
		The more one knows about languages in the concrete, the more obvious is the barrier between the origin of language and its present state, and the more obvious as well, the difference in kind between concrete descriptions of language forms and families and unverifiable speculations about language origin.
		Even the beginning of language should not be thought restricted to so meagre a stock of words as is commonly supposed when, instead of seeking its inception in the original summons to free human sociality, we attribute it primarily to the need for mutual assistance, and project mankind into an imagined state of nature.
		Language (again echoing Herder) is a "free" activity; yet to define this freedom, Humboldt finds himself obliged to deny not merely "necessity" but "intent." No doubt these are familiar quandaries that the previous century’s speculations could not resolve; what is new here is the author’s lack of real concern with resolving them.

		Humboldt held that the structure of a language reflects the culture of its speaker and that the differences between languages parallel those between speakers, but he did not specify the parallels nor did he insist that it was the language which brings about the differences.
		Like the ancient Kawi language of Java, to the grammar of which the monograph is an introduction, languages were of primary interest to Humboldt for his chief concern, the relation of language and culture.
		For while such languages are anxiously concerned with uniting the individual entity into a sentence, or with representing the sentence immediately unified, the method of inflection indicates directly the components in accordance with a particular thought construction, and by its nature cannot separate the relationship of a component to the thought in speech.

		Language, however, he insists, does not manifest itself in an abstract form; it appears always broken by the media of nationality and individuality.
		Not what can be expressed in a language but its capacity to quicken and stimulate mental action determines its superiority or deficiency, the criterion being the clarity, definiteness, and mobility of the ideas that the language evokes in the nation whose spirit has created it and upon which it in turn reacts.
		All the variety which a comparative study of language as the organ of the inner life of a people reveals to us must be understood as the variegated manifestation of the human mind, the highest of all possible ideas.

		Language was the seam between the two estranged halves; the Romantic theory of language gave hope that they could again be joined.
		Novalis held that language was the primal act of all human creativity, and the progenitor of the self-awareness that is the condition for our knowledge of self and of the world.
		Consistent with such an outlook, rationalism held that language was the mere outward representation of thought, with words serving the utilitarian needs of communication by supplying a nomenclature for concepts that came ready-made from the mind's wordless activity.
