Linguistics is important because of the interrelationship between languages.
People who speak languages of the same family may be assumed to be connected or have had a close contact at some time in the past.
Variations show how long ago the break in contact occured
Careful comparisons indicate migratory patterns, the spread, influence and some concepts in the society.
Loan words show neighbouring influence, their effects, aspect of culture and borrowed features.
