βάλε και τα αρχαία ελληνικά που έχουν πεθάνει
xam xam οι γλώσσες αυτές μιλιοούνται ακόμα. τα αρχαία ελληνικά δεν μιλιούνται αλλά δεν πρόκειται να πεθάνουν ποτέ μην ανησυχείς..
Δυστυχώς ναι, δεν γίνεται τίποτα για να σωθούν αυτές οι γλώσσες. Θα μείνουν στο παρελθόν και θα κυριαρχήσουν τα αγγλικά, γαλλικά, ισπανικά...
