*Do you have any evidence re: this supposed disappearance? I haven't seen anything about it. Also, on a side note, you may want to use the term 'change' rather than 'deterioration' - there are strong arguments from linguists against understanding linguistic change as deterioration, since there is no reason to brand the language that is the product of the change as 'inferior' or 'lesser' when compared to the origin language, other than parochialism. - [[User:Mgcsinc|Mgcsinc]] ([[User talk:Mgcsinc|talk]]) 22:21, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
