The presented article deals with the problem of the emergence of language as a unique tool of the human communication.

All existing hypotheses about the origin of the language, infact, divide into two directions. Representatives of the first direction are favorable to the fact that the human language has originated evolutionarily. They claim that it was developing from separate sounds to the complex system along with the evolutionary development of the human. Representatives of another direction believe in the factthatthe language is given to people from the Godas a gift. The sescholar stend to think that languages have never been under developed because the yal ways satisfied allso cialneeds.
The article analyzes both directions and problems, which need to be deeply investigated because the humanity has no answers to it yet.
The importance of this study is related to the growing need for studying foreign languages, which requires the development of newmethodological approaches for the effective achievement of the goals.
