Imagine your family speaks a special way of talking, but one day, no one talks that way anymore. A language disappears when no one uses it anymore. It's like a secret only a few people know.
Examples
- A group of kids learn to speak Spanish at school and forget their grandparents' old language.
- When a village moves away, they don't bring their special way of speaking with them.
- An elder speaks a forgotten tongue but no one listens.
