You learn something new every day.
Extinct language, related to English ! Straight up from Old English, from there to a branch of Middle English via a group of Normans who went to Ireland in 1169. There are some texts on the page showing Yola with English alongside. Strange how one's language can change so much in just 700 years. It's almost unrecognizable and would surely be unintelligible.
You folks want to know how new languages are created? Check out this example. Check out also the strange language called Fingalian.
Last speaker - Martin Parle, Carnsore Point, late 1870's.
