Languages are invented by long periods of time by people who never met. Why is it then, for example, that Japanese does not have the sound L nor a letter for it? Nobody ever invented a word with that sound?

Our species evolution of communication isn't something you can pinpoint the exact moment a sound or word morphed into something different.

There was no word for "tweeting" or "texting" 200 years ago.
