"A huge deal. It astounds me that you don’t see it. It’s the last link to a people, a way of life and a mode of thought - an entire world was in that language."

Nonsense, what a drama queen. The disappearance of this dialect won't effect anyone's life in the slightest. I amazes me the frivolous things some freepers think are important.

You could not be more wrong. The human reliance on language goes to our existential core. Language is how we think about concepts. When the vital tool of language is impaired or lost, we lose the ability to consider or comprehend realities that now lie beyond our awareness. Your comments expose you as an incurious oaf who sets no value on his own humanity.

Pitiful and (since you embrace an impoverished view of humanity) contemptible.
