The lost language: Deseret.
The Deseret Alphabet came about on January 19, 1854 when the Board of Regents of the University of Deseret announced that they had adopted a new phonetic alphabet. The new alphabet consisted of 38 to 40 characters as part of a project to help simplify spelling in the English Language. Really neat info here. You can even download the font! picked by muppet 4 months ago

 English will turn into Panglish in 100 years
English will turn into Panglish in 100 years
English as it is spoken today will have disappeared in 100 years and could be replaced by a global language called Panglish, researchers claim. New words will form and meanings will change with the most dramatic changes being made by people learning English as a second language. picked by AutumnLotus 5 months ago

Lost in Translation
This automatic text translator interprets any English phrase back-and-forth into five languages with a final return to the mother tongue. The resulting half-English, half-foreign, and totally non sequitur response bears almost no resemblance to the original. Remember the old game of "Telephone"? Something is lost, and sometimes something is gained. Try it for yourself picked by TraumaMamma 10 months ago
