They have developed their language through many years. The development of the language is based of the people needs, style, and also their gender difference (Yang et al., 2016). Not only oral language, there is also sign language that used by people to communicate each other with their friends, family, or foreign people that could not speak using oral language (deaf mute). Yaseen and Amin (2017) also found the gender differences in terms of communication.

Dong (2014) deliver that females' language is more polite and express kindness while males are the opposite. They also found that males tend to arrogant, uses simple language, and etc. that showed that male and female have any differences in terms of language use during the conversation. Gu (2013) found that the differences and separated of a community affect the differences of the language in terms of communication.
