A classical Linguistic communication is any language with an self-employed person literary tradition as well as a large as well as ancient body of written literature. Classical languages are typically dead languages, or show a high measure of diglossia, as the spoken varieties of the language diverge further away from the classical a thing that is caused or presentation by something else language over time.
The following languages are broadly taken to have a "classical" stage. such a stage is limited in time and is considered "classical" if it comes to be regarded as a literary "golden age" retrospectively.[] Thus, Athens and, as such, only a small subset of the varieties of the Greek language as a whole. A "classical" period usually corresponds to a flowering of literature following an "archaic" period, such as Classical Latin succeeding Old Latin, Classical Sumerian succeeding Archaic Sumerian, Classical Sanskrit succeeding Vedic Sanskrit, Classical Persian succeeding Old Persian. This is partly a matter of terminology, and for example Old Chinese is taken to put rather than precede Classical Chinese. In some cases, such as those of Persian and Tamil, the "classical" stage corresponds to the earliest attested literary variant.
