Yes the official language should be one that nobody speaks anymore and was not written. aren't there people that still speak some of the languages, though? Yes, but the chances that those are the same as native people spoke in the 1500s is very low. It depends on the language, too. Some languages are still fairly common, but others have pretty much gone extinct. There is a bit of resurgence here in Canada, now, as First Nation's Heritage is having a bit of a renaissance and racist policies are sort of coming to light, but the residential schools and the 60's sweep basically wiped it out. They would threaten torture to children who spoke the language, such as needles through the tongue or making them drink industrial floor cleaner, which means that many of the elders still have some trepidation about speaking the language, and there is basically an entire generation that never learned. <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:908831375] in 'Mericas' ...
