Ancient languages are not lost, they slowly disappear over time. Here’s my proof: in the 1930’s people would say "Okay-Dokey" to respond to one another. It was shortened to "Okay" in the 50’s, then shortened again to "OK" in the 70's. Today we have reduced this same communication in text messages to "K.” At this rate the English language will disappear by 2030.
