Decode a lost language

What is Dead, Extinct, And Lost Languages?
A dead language is one that is not the native language of any community. Latin is a dead language. There are people who know Latin, but there is not a nation or community whose native language is Latin.

An extinct language is a language that no longer has any speakers. Even if there is no one speaking an extinct language, there are books, papers, and monuments in that language that we know how to read and learn from. Currently, there are 573 known extinct languages.

A lost language is an extinct language that we know it existed but we don’t know how to read. Most of the extinct languages are lost languages.

Methods for Encoding Lost Languages

Multilingual Inscriptions:
Rosetta Stone in British Museum

One of the most effective ways to decipher a lost language is through multilingual texts, where the same content is written in both the unknown language and a known language. The Rosetta Stone, for example, famously allowed scholars to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs by comparing them to Greek.

Analyzing Linguistic Patterns:
Even without bilingual texts, scholars can analyze the internal structure of a language by studying its grammar, syntax, and phonology. This involves identifying patterns in word formation, sentence construction, and sound changes to reconstruct the language's rules. 
Studying Written Records:
If a language has been written down, even if not spoken anymore, scholars can examine surviving texts for clues about its structure and meaning. This can involve deciphering scripts, analyzing vocabulary, and identifying grammatical features.
 Analyzing Loanwords:
Examining words borrowed from the lost language into other languages can provide clues about its vocabulary and phonetic structure. 
Archaeological Evidence 
This might involve examining oral traditions, songs, and other cultural artifacts extracted from sites.

Comparative Linguistics:
By comparing a dead language to its known relatives, scholars can make educated guesses about its vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. This method is particularly useful when dealing with languages by an belong to the same language family. 
 Understanding Cultural Context:
Understanding the historical and cultural context in which the language was used can provide valuable insights into its meaning and usage.
