C'mon, Dave!  Toby Young is a fully-fledged eejit.  'Nuff said?

On the matter of Ancient and extinct in the wild languages, I believe that
they are of great historical and cultural interest and should be given the
same status as other ancient or non-European languages such as Sanskrit,
Anglo-Saxon, Classical Arabic, Icelandic, Mandarin, Kazakh, Japanese, Old
East Slavic, Russian, Amharic and the like.  All are suitable for study but
those that are still widely spoken should have the edge if they are to be
studied at secondary school level as there is actually a chance of speaking
to a living human who actually uses them.  The rest are fine for academic
study at university and for personal pleasure.
