Danh ngôn của David Crystal
The death of a language. The word has the same kind of reluctant resonance as it has when we talk about the death of a person. And indeed, that's how it should be. For that's how it is. A language dies only when the last person who speaks it dies.

Cái chết của một ngôn ngữ Từ này có cùng một loại âm vang miễn cưỡng giống như khi chúng ta nói về cái chết của một người. Và quả thực, nó phải như vậy. Bởi vì nó là như vậy. Một ngôn ngữ chỉ chết khi người cuối cùng nói nó chết.
