The mobile phones and the short-text messaging service are two social phenomena much marvelled at and commented upon by most of us. Perhaps, this is explained by the fact that they allow people to communicate with each other more easily in this age of fraught and tight deadlines. Besides, they allow the communities to create and sustain their own language networks. The instant messaging is a very comfortable and useful communication technique which is typically linked with many social networking websites. It has become a standard form of communication for many people in recent years. It has its own language and grammar rules. The aim of our paper is to analyze the SMS language and its impact on the general language development. The SMS language is a special shorthand language that is used by the members of the instant messaging community which contains hundreds of unique words and phrases. Most short text messages can be typed in fewer than six letters which makes it easier for the users to enter any kind of information on a cell phone. Much of its format is based on the first letter of each word within a phrase, although some words can be represented with numbers, too.
