There is the old-Greek, there is Sanskrit, there is aramaic... there are quite a few languages that are considered "dead" (they're not in regular use anymore), but there are studies of those languages in universities around the world (because of the written documents left in those languages and because they are in the root of a many contemporary, "living" languages).

Sometimes when I read these questions and answers I think English is fast becoming a dead language.

Hebrew was a dead language for centuries. It was reconstructed around 1947, if I recall correctly. I could be wrong. I'll check with my buddy that speaks it.

Not me, but I was once on a list with someone who was trying to raise her daughter with Latin as her first language.
Maybe I'll take up Cornish.

A former linguistics professor of mine could read Sumerian, type I and II. He is only one of a handful of people who can.
