Modernized Ancient
We know little things about the evolution and development of language. It starts with sounds. Animals give sounds to communicate with other animals. One intellectual said Man is also a social animal. With respect to the language the above statement seems true.
Like animals man used different sounds to communicate with others. It is the first step in the evolution of language. Slowly it becomes some shape. Nearly we have thousands of language all over the world. Some languages do not have written form. It is estimated as more than a lakh languages. Thousand languages are still in use.
The second step is the tone modulation. Humans change their sounds according to the situations. The third step is drawing. Humans used pictures to express their thoughts. Those pictures can be found in many caves. Later words and sentences are born. Homo Sapiens started to speak. Different languages are born. People become civilized.
These evolution is unkowingky taking into uncivilized era. Particularly because of the world of technology. Now we are using wats app and many other messaging apps. We are using smileys and symbols instead of words. A single smiley or symbol used to explore our thoughts and sometimes our deep emotions too.
People are using smileys for all situations and the app developers are constantly giving updates for smileys. Here we are...
Do you think are we going backward or forward??
From this perspective we are moving to ancient stone world. We are started to use picture language in day today life. At the same time humans are become more savage than stone age. They are enjoying killing, fighting and wanted to extend their boundaries. So we are becoming modernized barbarians.

So the question is "in a text whether the language is necessary?"
Exactly.. The same question will arise in future.. Let's see and wait..inly time will answer
Deletei want your idea do reflect?
Deleteof course it is necessary Devagi Shree. because more than the plot and the things, a language develops and gives uniqueness to a man, who can be the author himself.
