Languages carry collective memories, experiences, social, cultural, linguistic riches.

 Let us not try to glamorize a classical language. 

Everything in its place and a place for everything is an inevitable law of life. 

Similarly,  everything has some underlying process and pattern  and every pattern and process has some underlying purpose.

Revival of enhanced interest in any language can grow from scanty to plenty. 

However, language revellers and avid revivalists must factor in inevitable facts.

Language and history - through them we learn society is too complex and too many-sided. 

​Languages carry collective memories, experiences, social, cultural, linguistic riches.

So, in a way they carry in them, through them and with  them huge volumes of factual history. For, why would one need a word or expression for something not known,  seen, experienced, imagined or handed down by one's ancestors.

This very fact must make the language users to be vigil towards the fact that the obverse can also be true, i.e. everything in society from belief systems, political ideologies, economic theories, religious practices and cults, collective psychological fabric are all neither mere rubiks one can twist , turn and try to set uniformly that easily nor a jigsaw puzzle one can muzzle the voices of dissent and reset.

While losing touch with one's language means forfeiting peculiar treasures accumulated over several years and a treasury of knowledge and wisdom stored in that language. At the same time the language users must ensure that the language they want to promote must be willing to carry with it the weight of social activities happening around them 'at present' as an objective observer injecting the language with lively and active user-friendly vocabulary.

Everything organically evolves in the churning process of nature.

So, when society with most of its dimensions like economic imperatives, cultural trends, personal image and social status enhancing activities etc change along with them, it is preferable that the language also makes necessary minimal adjustments  with its multiple aspects like its grammar, usage etc. 

If  any language does not do that but merely tries to swirl in its puritanical pride and track record in traditions then it may not have automatic  appeal. 

If any language fails to factor in the multiple dimensions of life by adopting them through adjustments in its puritanical stand then that language itself will become a spectacle and a news item as a rarity.

When a use of any particular language gets published as a news item it is not a sign of its importance, but a sign of it being noticed as something peculiar or unique. 

Now let us walk through a few wonderful languages , some over puritanism-emphasizing languages that got revived and made people to take renewed interest, some slowly revolted against certain exercissive  baggage of orthodoxy not in sync with evolving times and some which enticed dedicated researchers to track down and bring back to life the hidden treasures in them.

Ngugi wa Thiong'o , a popular Kenyan author through his book 'Devil on the Cross' written on hidden tissue papers inside his prison which helped revive people's interest in the native language of Kenya 'kikuyu'.

'Then people  took interest in reading through the English 1400 pages magnum opus by L.S.B. Leake 'The Southern  kikuyu before 1903. It gives an exhaustive list of words even for colors and markings on goats , cattle, sheep.'

'Iceland carried such a great obsession to root out traces of foreign language, that journalists were asked to refrain from mentioning musik instead listen to 'tonalist'

( tone-art)'.

'Iceland's only Nobel laureate for Literature, even while young, sowed the seeds of radical approach needed to be injected in hyper puritanism of the language and changed his name from Halldor Guojonsson to  Laxness." ( considered a great offence).'

People are no more interested in either politicizing or projecting or rejecting any language or many languages as long as it or they serves/ serve their multiple needs like :- to express their aesthetic feelings, normal humane emotions, social actions and reactions, employment and economic activities, experience the utilities of science and technology, understand the philosophical approaches etc.

Therefore, people are wiser to adopt whatever acts as a potential leveller and opens up a gateway to a wider world, though this may upset status quo addicts and comfort zone cocoons.

That way most Indians, who  want to progress in life, manage to straddle multiple languages out of necessity, interest, love. 

They mostly use and are comfortable with their mother tongue; don't  mind learning one more language which will help them enjoy music , traditions, rituals etc; another language that will enable them to do business activities within India; one more language that will enable them to communicate internationally and in addition many like to learn more languages.

We all must accept that as technology expands , many things in the world and the world itself shrinks.

When this shrinking happens, survival of a language and its increased usage becomes  more competitive.

This is where English scores over all other languages not because it is greater than any other language in any way because it has created a wide range and variegated vocabulary to communicate and express as many ideas or events as possible in as many fields of human activity unashamed of or unwilling to succumb to linguistic egoism it freely borrowed from any other language, it ensured to have the syntactic plasticity, flamboyant flexibility suited to both simple and complex modes of expression, and an enormously evolved derivational morphology along with preferably people involved in various domains of activities using that language. Through many such adaptations it has ensured a geographical  spread.
