The end of Language

I just realised that Language is disappearing. I read a few pages in báró Emma Magdolna Rozália Mária Jozefa Borbála Orczy's classic The Scarlet Pimpernel from 1903. I was awed at the language. Not that I had never read any pages in it before. But it just struck me now that all the prose one reads nowadays, on the internet, on television screens, even in newspapers, is null and nothing compared to the prose of Emmuska. Four thousand years of civilisation, and people suddenly stop mastering language.
