It says... Communication - A way of sending signals to other people, includes body language, facial expression, gesture and language. Communication can be seen as an umbrella term because it encompasses both language and speech but also includes facial expressions, gestures and body language.
Language - Structured communication with rules and a set of symbols that are spoken, written or signed. that can be used and understood between people. language can be quite abstract and we often often forget this.
Speech - Vocalised language, it is usually learnt before the written form of the language, in speech the symbols are not written or signed, but spoken as sounds. the number of sounds that children need to master will depend on the language that they are being exposed to.
Hope this helps you!
