Language
Language is a system that consists of the development, acquisition, maintenance and use of complex systems of communication, particularly the human ability to do so; and a language is any specific example of such a system.
Language
Henry Drummond: Language is a poor enough means of communication. I think we should use all the words we've got. Besides, there are damned few words that anybody understands!
Inherit the Wind (1960 film), Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee
Language
Many languages fly around the world
producing sparks when they collide
sometimes of hate
sometimes of love

Language
The only thing in life is language. Not love. Not anything else.
Richard Burton as quoted by Melvyn Bragg in Richard Burton: A Life (1988)
Power generation from a renewable resource like wind directly depends on the weather, which cannot be easily predicted. An EU initiative improved wind power and electricity demand forecasting in order to make wind power more valuable on the power market.
