“Since our natural voices are inarticulate, words would have few articulations; a few interspersed consonants elimination the hiatus between vowels would suffice to make them fluid and easy to pronounce. On the other hand, its sounds would be extremely varied, and variety of accents would multiply the same voices; Quantity, rhythm would make possible still further combinations; so that since voices, sounds, accent, quantity, which are by nature, would leave little to be done by articulations, which are by convention, men would sing rather than speak…[this first language] would have many irregularities and anomalies, it would neglect grammatical analogy in favor of the euphony, variety, harmony, and beauty of sounds.” 
—J.J. Rousseau, Essay on the Origin of Languages (trans. Victor Gourevitch)
