Languages: Humanities or Communications?

Dear fellow lovers of foreign languages and cultures,

traditionally, language courses have been listed in course requirements under the rubric of Humanities. Do you think that should remain the way it is, or would it make more sense to list such courses under the rubric of Information and Communication? I'm only talking about language courses, not literature.

I'll be grateful to anybody who expresses themselves on this subject. This isn't just academic to me. It's a very important decision we will be making at my department, and I'd like to hear different arguments on the subject.

Thank you!
