Teorya ng Tore ng Babel. Ayon sa
pagsasalaysay, noong umpisa’y iisa ang wika
ng tao na biyaya ng Diyos. Dahil sa
nagkakaunawaan ang lahat, napag-isipang
magtayo ng isang tore upang hindi na
magkawatak-watak at nang mahigitan ang
Panginoon.

Bow-wow. Nagkaroon ng wika ang tao dahil

noong umpisa’y ginagaya nila ang tunog na
nililikha ng mga hayop gaya ng tahol ng aso,
tilaok ng manok at huni ng ibon
Teorya ng Pinagmulan ng Wika
Ding-dong. Maliban sa tunog ng hayop,
ipinalagay sa teoryang ito na ang lahat ng
bagay sa kapaligiran ay may sariling tunog na
siyang kumakatawan sa nasabing bagay.
Kampana, relo, tren, patak ng ulan

Pooh Pooh. Ang tao ay nakalilikha ng tunog

sanhi ng bugso ng damdamin. Gamit ang
bibig, napabubulalas ang mga tunog ng
pagdaing na dala ng takot, lungkot, galit,
saya at paglalaan ng lakas.
Teorya ng Pinagmulan ng Wika
Yoheho. Isinasaad dito na nagsimula ang wika sa
indayog ng himig-awitin ng mga taong sama-
samang nagtatrabaho.

Yum Yum. ang wika ay nagmula sa pagkumpas ng

maestro ng musika at sa bawat kumpas ay
nagagawa niyang lumikha ng tunog mula sa
kanyang labi.

Ta-Ta. Mula sa wikang Pranses na

nangangahulugang paalam. Ginagaya ng dila ang
kumpas o galaw ng kamay ng tao na kanyang
ginagawa sa bawat particular na okasyon tulad ng
pagkumpas ng kamay ng pababa at pataas tuwing
paalam.
Teorya ng Pinagmulan ng Wika
Sing Song. Ito ay nagmula sa di mawatasang
pag-awit ng mga kauna-unahang tao; may
melodiya at tono ang pag-usal ng mga unang
tao

La-La. Mga pwersang may kinalaman sa

romansa. Ang salik na nagtutulak sa tao
upang magsalita.

Tara-Boom-De-Ay. Ang mga tao ay natutong

humabi ng mga salita mula sa mga
seremonya at ritwal na kanilang ginagawa. 
Teorya ng Pinagmulan ng Wika
To-he-ho. Nalikha dahil sa puwersang
ginagamit. Nakakalikha daw ang tao ng mga
salita kapag may ginagawang kahit anong
bagay.

Aramean. May paniniwalang ang kauna-

unahang wikang ginagamit sa daigdig ay ang
lenggwahe ng mga Aramean.
Teorya ng Pinagmulan ng Wika
Ehipto. Ayon sa haring si Psammatichos, ang
wika ay sadyang natutuhan kahit walang
nagtuturo o naririnig. Natutunan kahit walang
nagtuturo. Unconsciously learning the
language.

pakikipagsapalaran ng tao para mabuhay ang
nagtuturo sa kanya upang malikha ng iba’t

pakikipagsapalaran.

To My Fatherland:
Recorded in the history of human sufferings is a cancer of so
malignant a character that the least touch irritates it and awakens in
it the sharpest pains. Thus, how many times, when in the midst of
modern civilizations I have wished to call thee before me, now to
accompany me in memories, now to compare thee with other
countries, hath thy dear image presented itself showing a social
cancer like to that other!
Desiring thy welfare, which is our own, and seeking the best
treatment, I will do with thee what the ancients did with their sick,
exposing them on the steps of the temple so that every one who
came to invoke the Divinity might offer them a remedy.
And to this end, I will strive to reproduce thy condition
faithfully, without discriminations; I will raise a part of the
veil that covers the evil, sacrificing to truth everything, even
vanity itself, since, as thy son, I am conscious that I also
suffer from thy defects and weaknesses.

Definition: Rate – ratio between two quantities.
 
Rate(R) = =

 
Rate before tune up(R1) : R1 =
 
After tune-up: d increases by 15% = 115% of d1 = (1.15)(10 km) =
11.5 km
 
Rate after tune up(R2) : R2 =
 
Given:
R2= ; d­2 = 230 km ; V2 = ?
 
Equation and Solution: R2= ; solving for V2 : V2 = R2d2 = (
