Extinct language
An extinct language is a language that no longer is the first language or the second language of anyone. The opposite of a modern language, an extinct language is not spoken anymore and so no longer develops or changes. The first recorded example in human history is Sumerian.
It is not to be confused with a dead language, such as Latin, which is still spoken as a second language.
