Language. A noun. By definition; a body of words and the systems for their use common to a people who are of the same community or nation, the same geographical area, or the same cultural tradition. As I am a little late in the week for posting this entry, most of my thoughts on the subject of "losing language" have already been covered by others, and after reading their opinions on the matter, I have drawn a somewhat simple conclusion. Language plays a major role in every culture. That is a given. Dialect evolves like everything else..and I'm not sure if saving or preserving the "original" version of a language holds as much value as adapting to new forms does..I mean, I think it's a gift that we have Old English texts to study, and we can look deeper into the Latin language to better understand the history and basic beginnings of the words we use daily, but at the same time people will continue to communicate with other people no matter what the format. Just my take..and there's a high chance I could be totally off topic here. Caffiene makes me scatter-brained.
