SomeoneElseThe Welsh disagree.
“Dead language”
Dude it doesn’t count if you’re literally killing the language on purpose
It's also not a dead language by any stretch of the imagination. Even latin isn't technically a dead language since it is still used.
Imperialists calling something dead is often just wishful thinking.
DeceptichumA dead language is one that isn’t used by real people everyday, not a language some academics can still speak.
That’s why Welsh and Irish are basically considered dead to many because the native speakers are so few that it could disappear very easily.
Also who the fuck speaks Latin still? Does the papal city place in Italy even speak that during it’s day to do going ons?
Resol van LemmyTechnically, Latin is a dead language, but not an extinct language. It could (heavy emphasis on “could”) come back all of a sudden. That’s what happened to Hebrew.
Extinct languages aren’t even spoken by anyone anymore. Not even a single soul. Gone beyond the point of repair. Disappeared for good, like dinosaurs and dodo birds and megalodon.
Flying SquidWhat’s Welsh for moron? Because this guy is that.
Typical unionist. Adores the kingdom but hates all the different cultures inside of it.
MisterFrogBet they’re also missing the heydays of the empire.
Bring back Cornish and the other minority languages too. Who knows, it might make the place more tolerant of other cultures.
Or most people at least wont understand the racist shit! ;)
andrefspWhat an idiot this guy must be… Did it cross his mind that Welsh people are also tax payers? …
