Personally I think i should learn the languages my ancestors made extinct; at the very least, as a gesture of ending imperialism though having any relationship would then ordinarily be itself symbolically the opposite, but in this case I can disregard it because I don't even recognise my ancestors as bieng in anyway legitimate. their also more indirect ancestors,
more like my cousins from many generations ago, still I feel I should at the very least compensate for all those people who continue to stick to that identity,
, at-least by informing myself I become somewhat of a better person then i would be if I stay willfully ignorant.
lead by example even if i shouldn't be the one to have to set the example in the first place.
Old prussian is a baltic language as opposed to a slavic language, if i'm not mistaken however non the less It looks like it may be interesting regardless of the content of what I posted.
inspite of so many good reasons to bother to learn the language, I probably wont have the, what ever the body of resources one needs to study a language is called, to study this language.
I think when i'm on my tenth or so language I'll be all
for a while.
