Wikipedia Overview
An extinct language is a language that failed to recover from language death and is therefore no longer naturally spoken by anyone as a first language nor as an additional language. A dormant language is a dead language that still serves as a core component of an existing ethnic or religious group's identity—such languages are often undergoing revitalization. By contrast, a language that is still naturally spoken as a first language is classified as a modern or living language. Once a living language enters the process of language death, it is classified as an endangered language and remains in this state until extinction or revitalization.
