Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or<br />
unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A<br />
nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.<br />
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots<br />
read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture<br />
signs also guide, warn, and instruct people.<br />
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques<br />
also express human thoughts and feelings.<br />
