Speech

From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change

Speech is when sounds (or gestures) are made in an attempt to communicate. The communication can be verbal (based on words), or non-verbal (based on actions). Speech can be given to one person, to a few people, or to a large group of people. A speech given by a person to a lot of people is called an address. A person making a speech is called a speaker.

Animals also have speech. They also communicate with each other. However, many times, an animals' communication is not the same as the way we humans speak.

A speaker may say something, but might mean something different. One speech can be understood as many different things, such as in different languages.
