In this paper we address the issue of agent communication languages used in multi-agent systems and The Knowledge Query Manipulation Language (KQML) in particular .Based on speech Act theory , we present idea of agent communication language and various requirements which enhance the quality of ACL. How KQML packages the original content of a message without bothering about the syntax or format of the content message, is described. Overlapping the content by KQML syntax and then according to sender and receiver information it will be sent to relative receiver. We discussed different performatives of this language which are classified into main seven categories. This paper includes Foundation for intelligent physical agents(FIPA) and its own language FIPA ACL which is very similar to KQML. As KQML is widely used in agent systems, various applications of this language are also included.
