      Samská¹›tam is still alive. Please visit r/sanskrit if you wish to learn it and help keep it alive.

      I can give the Indian POV on Sanskrit.

      It’s dead. The only people who know Sanskrit are saints/monks or when they are mandatorily taught Sankrit in some schools. I, for instance, learned Sankrit from grades 7-8(in that school, they taught it from 3-9 but I joined that school in 7th grade so yeah) and by the end of it could form extremely simple sentences and as of rn, I’ve forgotten most of it.

      Cumbric is a dead language and cannot be revived. It was also a much larger area. The recent literature now suggests that Cumbric and Pictish should be referred to as one (North Brythonic).

      Sanskrit was never spoken by common folk it was language of the elite higher caste (you could get your tongue cut! for speaking it in middle ages).

      North Indian languages like Lohar, Bhagheli, Awadi, braj bhasha, maithili, pahathali are the real languages which are near extinction because dominance of hindi in North India.
