The present article is aimed at challenging the statement that all languages are equally complex by considering morphology and syntax. To support this claim, the following article will examine the impact of social factors, a possible implication of time and history, the effects of language contact, and the important influence that language learning and literacy exercises in language change. Finally, it will also address the influence of social and cultural sophistication on language complexity.The present article is aimed at challenging the statement that all languages are equally complex by considering morphology and syntax.
