  • How many vanished last century?

    If need to, just preserve them into training material, movies, and other content, anyone wanting to learn them for whatever reason can do so in the future. Linguist are probably already doing this. Preserving them in some kind of library could also be useful resource when making movies/games from those olden period and using the actual spoken language from that time in the film/game.

    I think most people learn/acquire languages for economic reasons to feed their families. Shouldn’t be forcing people to learn language they don’t need.

    Actually, looking at history, no language will survive. Modern English is only 400 years old. In a few hundred years, all languages will be very different from what they are now. Different enough to be considered a different language. It is normal.

    "Old English, a Germanic language, was spoken in England for centuries. The Norman Conquest in 1066 brought French into England, and the two languages gradually merged, resulting in Middle English. " war caused the “death” of old english.

    Even language that will go extinct may be related to other languages so technically part of the language is still around. Korea share similarities to chinese, jap. Korean even share many words with Tamil language. So, just like old english went extinct or lost because it merged with others and became something else. Or a king could decide to create a new language, killing off existing language.







  • Yes, you have made it clear you prefer to waste time replying for hours instead of search.

    Very close you almost got it. Good job! I said “you prefer to waste time” not “wasting time”. Try looking for the “search” button not “searching” button, it looks like a magnifying glass, mouse over it and wait for tooltip it will say “search”. So proud of you, the time I wasted on you has paid off. You are welcome.
