language that is no longer the native language of any community, even if it is still in use
AI overview
A dead language is one that no longer has any native speakers in everyday communities, even though it might still be studied or used in specific contexts like religious ceremonies or academic settings. Understanding dead languages matters because they preserve historical records, reveal how languages change over time, and help us connect with the cultures and civilizations that created them.
