Languages are dying out all the time. Here are four languages that were once widely spoken but are
now considered as “dead” languages.
Old Norse
Old Norse was spoken and written by the Vikings from about the 7th century. It was used in
countries like Iceland and parts of Russia. The Vikings were famous for their attacks on neighbouring
countries, and so Old Norse had an influence on the languages of the places they attacked, including
English. For example, English words such as “egg, gift, anger, want, trust and score” come from Old
Norse.
Middle English
Middle English was spoken in England between the 12th and 15th centuries and was very different
from the English we use these days. In the past, England was highly influenced by Old Norse, so was its
language. There are no manuscripts (手稿) in Middle English as it was much more fashionable to write in
French. Middle English gave way to modern English. One example of the wide use of modern English
was Shakespeare's works.
Hunnir
Hunnir is the most mysterious of the languages on our list. The Huns were a community that spread
across eastern Europe in the 4th and 5th centuries. Despite the Huns’ success in expanding their empire,
their language was never written down. The few words that are known are mainly names in modern
Turkey and Mongolia. Apart from these, only three words are known: kamos, medos(types of drinks) and
strava(a big meal) .
Ancient Greek
More than 4,000 years ago, the Greeks spoke an advanced language known today as Ancient Greek,
and developed the first alphabet. Indeed, the English word “alphabet” is taken from the first two letters of
the Greek alphabet: alpha and beta. Although the language is no longer spoken anywhere, it continues to
be studied by scholars around the world and is regarded as one of the most important languages of all
time.
6. Which language was spoken by the Vikings?
A. Old Norse. B. Middle English. C. Ancient Greek. D. Hunnir.
7. Why did Middle English disappear?
A. Shakespeare didn't use Middle English.
B. Modern English replaced Middle English.
C. French was a popular written language then.
D. Middle English was influenced by Old Norse.
8. Which word comes from Ancient Greek?
A. Want. B. Kamos. C. Strava. D. Alphabet.
B
Called the “Daughter of Dunhuang”, Chinese archaeologist Fan Jinshi, 85, was awarded by
UNESCO for her outstanding contribution to the protection of the Dunhuang Mogao Caves.
Fan Jinshi’s story with the caves started 60 years ago. In 1963, Fan, then a 25-year-old Peking
University graduate, was assigned to work at the Mogao Caves, a place she had been longing to
explore. Though her father was concerned about her health and tried to get her reassigned to a different
place, Fan boarded a train and headed to the remote west.
“Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was absolutely breathtaking. But only when truly staying here
did I realize inside the caves is a world of exceptional beauty while outside is a land of blowing sand and
endless yellow earth,” Fan said. Back in those days, the Mogao Caves were almost cut off from the
world. Fan and her coworkers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water. They stayed inside the
caves to do research, trying whatever they could to protect and restore them. In 2011, after 40 years of
hard work, a report on 10 Mogao Caves compiled (汇编) by Fan’s team was finally published, which was
China’s first academic report on cave archaeology.
As time passed, Fan found a serious problem. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang
might harm the caves, causing murals (壁画) to blur (变模糊) and colors to fade. In 1980s, Fang got to
know computer technology by accident. She realized this might be the chance to preserve the Mogao
Caves forever. After over 30 years of exploration, the Dunhuang Academy built a digital database,
allowing Dunhuang’s art to live forever and to step out of the caves to meet the world.
“In my entire life, I’ve only done one thing: safeguard and promote the world cultural heritage－the
Mogao Caves,” she told People’s Daily. “My heart belongs to Dunhuang.”
9. What can we learn about Fan from the article?
A. She is a woman with determination.
