[@hestonworld5389]

I live in Tajikistan, and here we've got an ethnic group called the Yaghnabs who speak Yaghnabi which is the ancient Sogdi language of a society that's lived in the territory of Tajikistan more than 6000 years ago,i.e. around 4000 BC. And it can be considered as one of the most ancient languages of the world. But sadly, the language is endangered and can be lost because the new generations are emigrating from the Yaghnab Valley and assimilating among natives. Yaghnabs live in a valley far from civilization, and each year their population is drastically diminishing. Unfortunately, the grammar, vocabulary and all its written structure has been lost to time, meaning that the language has been preserved only in its spoken form by their elders hence making its learning almost impossible. It really makes me sad to think that somewhere in the future there will be no people left to speak this language that has existed for centuries.

[@redshankyman4181]

That is heartbreakingly melancholic. So many stories must exist in a language that ancient.
