So I was thinking yesterday, and I asked myself, Why do people talk?
Is it to change others opinions?
Maybe to create bonds with others...
So, Just talk about why you think people talk.

"I.. I know my time has come" Tethesis said with a gasp, a torrent of blood flowing from his lips.
"No! Hang on brother!!" Altharius could feel the warmth slip away from his dear sibling's hands
Tethesis's reached out his bloodied arm to Altharius's face.
"I..I have one final request"
Altharius leaned close to listen, tears welling in his once bright eyes.
"make sure th..they put my soulstone in a tank... it'll be... real fethin' cool"
"Yes, you're gonna be the most fethin' cool tank!!" burning hot tears streaked down Altharius's face, as he held his brother's soul in his grasp.

Its simple.
What is the reason for human speech.
Why do we use our voices to blabber on about things for no reason.
Why don't we use sign language.

Religious - Man has always spoken. We were made that way.
Scientific - Many animals coordinate on the hunt with calls and such. This might be where it all stems from.
The Real Reason- We evolved language to "woo women" (DPS)

I subscribe to the Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy's theory. To Whit:
"Some people talk because otherwise, their brains would start working.".
Some others talk only because that way their lungs work and their brains get needed oxygen. Were they to stop talking, they would promptly expire (and we would all be so much better off).

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

So, Just talk about why you think people talk.
It's an incredibly useful evolutionary trait. Concise, accurate communication is the key to successful hunting. And so our ancestors would have started using basic, but specific noises to assosciate certain moves etc. This develops further and further as the traits of a brain well suited to vocal communication is passed on, and increased further by the glut of protein supplied by a meat rich diet which is the aim of a successful hunt and so on.
And we get to where we are now. Eventually.
And being a trait key to our species early successes, we talk more or less incessantly.

Because you go to jail for beating people.

And whilst you're pointing and shouting at the boogeyman in the corner, you're missing the burglar coming in through the window.
Well, Duh! Because they had a giant Mining ship. If you had a giant mining ship you would drill holes in everything too, before you'd destory it with a black hole |

Civilized people tend to be rude more often than barbarians because they don't have to worry about getting a sword to the guts. One more reason why civilization sucks.

I disagree.
I know several barbarians who are very rude.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

I would have to say that talking is an invidual thought stealing your vocal chords and then making itself known.
