    If this list was actually EVERY extinct language, the video would probably be longer than every KZread video in history and then some, and would require literal magic to put togetrher since only a small fraction of all languages that have gone extinct have left any records behind.

    I can forgive him for not explicitly saying _"that we know of,"_ because that part is generally understood. By definition, we don't know about the "unknown unknowns," so we can't talk about them. Unfortunately, this video doesn't include some extinct languages that we do know of, such as the Harappan language of the Indus Valley Civilization. The bigger problem with this video is that it doesn't differentiate between "dead" and "extinct," and consequently, includes several dead languages among the truly extinct ones. This channel is just one of hundreds of copycats based on the "Every X explained in Y minutes" fad. I'm not very optimistic about its own survival.

    Coptic isn't extinct. It has 1 million speakers as the language of the Coptic Orthodox Church. There's a difference between a dead language and an extinct language. A dead language has no native speakers. An extinct language has no speakers at all. Same with Cornish. No native speakers, but it has speakers. Also Latin, which is the language of the Vatican.

    I have many problems wiþ ðis video such as: Old Dutch and Old Fraŋkish are ðe same and boþ Germanic, Burgundian was not spoken in ðe Duchy of Burgundy, but ðe early Kiŋdom of Burgundy, and it's East Germanic so not a Romance laŋuage or similer to Fraŋkish, Latin is Proto-Romance and as such if included you should have every widely exepted proto-language, (anoðer is you can raðer controversialy claim Dalmatian and Old Norse are not extiŋct), and finally whilest ðis is excusable he pronounced most laŋguage's names wroŋ, it's excusable but it hurts like hell.
