ON CLASSICAL LANGUAGES & MULTIGLOSSIA My interpretation of Kripke-Wittgenstein: a language must have temporal & spatial consistency (memory is imperfect so your language cannot be private). Classical languages have a property: unlike dialects, they don't vary across time. 1/n — PolitiTweet.org

A lingua franca is needed for science & business, so requires spatial consistency. Words must have the same meaning in Oxford & Krasnodar. But a missed point is that it must also be read across generations. Syriac did not change a bit between Ephrem & Bar Hebraus (1000 y). 2/n — PolitiTweet.org
