I've recently found a load of books on Old English language, so I decided to start learning Old English. Of course not many people speak the precursor to modern english. So I am wondering if enough people learnt to speak old english, would it be officially recognised as a proper spoken language, such as welsh etc? It would be great to have our own language rather than the generic modern english don't you think? And I feel it would give modern britons a link to their ancient past. It works for the welsh, and the scots are doing something similar, so I reacon its about time we english started speaking our old language again. Just imagine all the changes to road signs etc? It would be great.
