Wikipedia definition
2. Written languageA written language is the representation of a language by means of a writing system. Written language is an invention in that it must be taught to children; children will pick up spoken language by exposure without being specifically taught. A written language exists only as a complement to a specific spoken language, and no natural language is purely written. However, extinct languages may be in effect purely written when only their writings survive.
