Quotes by Tore Janson (?)

“A latin mint beszélt nyelv akkor tűnt el, amikor az emberek úgy vélték, ők már nem latinul beszélnek. Más szóval a latin elsősorban nem azért tűnt el, mert a nyelv valami mássá változott, hanem azért, mert beszélői úgy döntöttek, eztán másként fogják nevezni az általuk beszélt nyelvet.”
― Tore Janson, Beszélj!: A világ nyelvei - tegnap, ma, holnap
