Evolutionary advantage is one guess.  Many individualized languages, 
i.e. models of the world, having many individualized responses may 
enable at least some people in a community to make it through severe 
adversity intact.   Similarly, the community can evolve language to fit 
the needs of its environment.   For example, in this way democracies 
beat theocracies when their leaders, who would very much like to define 
language and shape ideas for their own purposes, start pushing too many 
ideas that are dangerous to everyone in the group..
