Personal anecdote: I have had the privilege of meeting a person teaching Gaelic as a second language. I think we can still learn a lot of nuances of expression from dying (or dead) languages and they will always provide us with insights for those willing to learn. That said, I think there is no artificial way in preventing a language from dying. If everybody in your neighbourhood speeks a different language then it's near impossible to cling to a different language.
