Dan:
Written languages (and their intrinsic syntactic/semantic relationship)
emerged
for just this purpose, and have been slowly evolving ..etc

Derek:
A fascinating little article on the differences in the evolution of
vocabulary and pronunciation, is:

Diamond JM (2000) Taiwan's gift to the world. Nature 403; 709-710

which is about the evolution of the Austronesian language family, what it
tells us about early human population movements in the Pacific/Indian Ocean
regions, and also what it tells us about how languages change over time.
