Mardi: Languages

[little_huntress]

Hello, again. I’m still dreammaidenn and this Tuesday's theme is Languages. Prompts can be anything as long as they have something to do with languages, real or fictional. Have fun!

Just a few rules:No more than five prompts in a row

Any fandom with immortals (please no SPN), author's choice, forgetting oneself and using a dead language

fill: Highlander, of course

Methos has forgotten more languages than most of humanity ever even realize existed. He has philosophized about the creation and destruction of languages, and how that reflects the creation and destruction of communities and societies and peoples.

(does a language that only a single soul knows has been recorded in a single place count as dead? in fact, can a language truly die? perhaps in a future life, he will write on that)

But today, as he acts as a barback for Joe, whose legs have been aching lately, he drops a bin full of dirty glasses and, when the bin spills shattered glass all over the floor, Methos peeks out of Benny Adamson to mutter a curse that not one other soul on earth would recognize as the hypothesized proto-indo-european language ancestor with no written record at all.
