Actually unlike a dead species we can get back dead languages. As long you record the language in enough detail before its death then any human can learn to speak it.
- dpark 11y agoThis is thankfully something of a possibility now, if well recorded via audio. Previous languages recorded only in writing cannot be fully reconstructed. Even with audio there is probably some loss of subtlety that would only be learned through conversation with native speakers, but it can probably be pretty close.
- danieltillett 11y agoWith enough recordings it should be possible to get close and no living language is static anyway so any error is likely to be less than natural drift.
