A dead language doesn't mean no one speaks it. That's why I included Latin as a comparison. It means it has no native speakers and it stops evolving.
By definition, the Hebrew language was totally a dead language for centuries.
A live language is a continuously evolving thing, with native speakers.

- Shorel 8y agoThat's like saying Latin is a living language because people speak Italian.
