And there were also dialectic differences plus language "shifts": i.e. Old English -> Middle English -> Modern English or Old Latin -> Classical Latin -> (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Romansch [?]) or the amalgamation of the over 550 (give or take a language) of American Indian languages that were once spoken in North and Central America.
Even within languages (for instance English), there are quite a few dialectic differences (Queen's English, Cockney, Australian, Newfoundlander, Scottish Lowlander, Scottish Highlander, Midwestern American, Boston Brahman, New York City, "Hillbilly", I could just go ON [:rolleyes: while throwing up hands in defeat].) And I believe India has 40 different languages and over 400 dialects! :passes out:
