What's your favorite extinct language?
see list below. Mine is Punic
I think it's sad when languages go extinct. I don't care if languages evolve over time (old English to now for example) but when individual languages just die out, it's sad. Usually that means a group of people has been conquered and their culture is lost

I once encountered an interdimensional entity with Sanskrit symbols pulsing outward from its aura. I might have been on DMT at the time.

Queen Elizabeth I knew Cornish (which was an extant language in her day), as well as English, Welsh, Flemish, Scottish, Irish, French, Italian, Spanish, French, Latin, and ancient Greek. She was one of the most accomplished scholars of her time, which was all the more remarkable then since she was a woman.
