Why do languages die?

Many past languages have gone "extinct," so to speak, do to the conquest of foreign nations. The Romans, Spanish, and Chinese are infamous for this, as are missionaries of the Roman Catholic church. It was considered much easier to rule people who could understand the inhabiting soldiers, and populations had to know english in order to read the Bible.

Languages die because they lose power. If there are two possible languages in a place, and one of the languages has more prestige, people will naturally want to learn that langauge. Over the course of just a few generations, this generally leads to language death because people don't see the point in speaking the less-powerful language to their children. This is happening all over the world to hundreds of languages right now.

Languages do not die, they simply evolve. Latin may seem to have died, but in reality, all of the Latin speakers in the world became separated during the Dark Ages and the way they spoke evolved differently in the different places they lived, until they could not even understand each other. Even in an age where we are able to read and hear people who spoke English a hundred or even several hundred years ago, there are obvious changes that have taken place, both in pronunciation and grammar. Back during the Roman Empire and especially afterwards, there was not readily available access to a wide variety of examples of Latin, so it evolved even more quickly.

Languages do not die. They are lost, and the main reason why most of the lost languages are lost, are because they have no form of written language or they can't be understood.

Egyptian, for instance, was lost until the French archeologist discovered the Rosetta Stone.

languges is die because we stop use it

in order to stop use a languge is related to:

-A law to not write or use this languges due to a war that produce change in politic

-few number of people use it (in africa many case like that)and they die or imegrate

-Language witch so old and is not flexible to change by the new demande of live so the people stop use it

For all of that day after we found that teh language is disapear and we say die

can be many reasons like natural disasters... basically forced death. Also many less known languages find it difficult to cope up with the necessity of communicating technical stuff. Their utility goes down gradually and newer generations fin it more useful to learn more 'global' languages

Languages die if they're not spoken. When people immigrate to another country, they tend to pick up the "language of the land" that they have chosen as they're destination point. After a few generations, (generally) they have stopped speaking their "native" tongue.

people that speeck it die

cuz, if people don't use it, they forget it, so technically, they don't die, they are forgotten.
