Abstract
The paper aims to provide a comprehensive description about the dead languages and the structural learning. The first part of the paper describes us about the dead languages, and how the languages died in the ongoing times. The second part of the paper comprises that how one of the dead language such as Sanskrit is practical enough to use as a resource in the 21st century and how this linguistic study is contributing in Structural learning. Dead Language is a language that is not regarded as much important as native language in the modern period. Dead languages have barely any speakers in the present day. As per various statistical surveys one language dies every 14 days. There are many languages such as Latin, Sanskrit and Hebrew which have evaporated due to various circumstances such as colonization. The parent language loses its importance and gradually dies due to its improvisation among various regions of the land. In the present day these languages are used only for legal and academic purposes. But the philologists have unearthed that one of the ancient language, Sanskrit has another image rather than just being an ancient language. Sanskrit has its rules placed in mathematical forms, having no exceptions unlike other languages. Being exception less makes it much more accessible to people and that is why the experts and technicians are tempted towards this language. In this fast progressing world, time needs to be used wisely. Therefore, writing texts also requires good space and time management. People are preferring shortcuts to express themselves, so this globe needs short scripts yet having complete message the individual wants to convey. The scientific field is also looking for script which requires less time, less effort and less data. And here Sanskrit can be reintroduced leading towards structural learning.
