Defining language is a scientific problem. There is no one definition of language that convinces all scientists. Various linguistic theories have tried to define and describe language over the past two centuries. However, although these theories provide some important progress, they are not sufficient to fully define language and describe its features. It is also one of the important claims that language is a biological phenomenon or an organ. In this article, these views are discussed through the judgment "Language is a living thing". The fact that language is a biological phenomenon has been expressed since August Schleicher. Human biology has differences that create language. Language is like a center where human abstraction capacities intersect. For this reason, the judgment that language is a living thing is not sufficient for us. To fully grasp the human language, a synthesis of information from these different branches of science is required.
