Abstract
Language can change and develop by itself slowly. Language can change and development because of adaptation of development and pattern change and system of society life, such as level of education, social, culture and technology mastery. Language change and development can occur internally and externally. In this article the changes internally and language development will be reviewed by looking through the study of historical change and development language based on the history of its development. While changes in external and development will be explored through the study of Sociolinguistics by examining and looking at changes and developments that language is influenced by socio-cultural factors that occur in society. Changes internally initially occurred in the behavior of speakers in their everyday lives to adjust to each other, and followed by a tendency to innovate in groups of people who are already familiar, then followed by other changes in sequence, which ultimately makes a language different each other, although originally derived from a single language family. Changes in the external language change and language development is caused by the contact of a language with other languages, where humans as social beings who have been cultured either interconnected or inter-ethnic nations in the world in a country.Key words: Language Changes, Internal Change, External Change, Historical linguistics

Summary
Language change as a concept and as a subject of linguistic investigation is often regarded as something separate from the study of language in general. From the English speaking world one could quote Bynon (1977), Milroy (1992), Trask (1996), Campbell (1998), Fennell (2001), Crowley (1998) as representative examples Some of these deal with the three main views of change which had been proposed by the middle of the 20th century, namely the Neogrammarian model from historical linguistics in the 19th century (see the discussion in Labov 1981), the structuralist approach, initiated by de Saussure at the beginning of the 20th century and the generative approach, which while beginning in the 1950‘s as a purely synchronic approach to language description with the work of Noam Chomsky, came in the following decade to be applied to issues in language change, see King (1969). Sociolinguistic describe about system of social status in using language and research of dialect in multilingual society in language change and development
