There are many similarities between music and languages. Both can communicate to others, make you laugh or cry. Words and music can both heal.

There are obvious similarities:

Letters, words/chords, phrases/sentences, dialogue and stories/musical pieces.

Musically it is possible to have a conversation between musicians. By playing things certain ways, you can ask someone to play something a certain way and have them respond back musically without saying a word.

The universality of music is different from our spoken languages. It is possible for musicians to speak completely different languages and still be able to communicate without needing to say a word to each other.

Another way that music is different from spoken languages is that it's based in beauty. Because of that, you can't hurt someone with music.
