It's a dead language and they try to make us speak it (libyan dialects aren't considered real, because they're not a written language and they say they lack grammatical rules, which obviously isn't true).
A contributing factor is the fact that the quran was written in classical arabic. One time someone I know said that berber shouldn't be official in their areas because it's not Allah's language.
I mean libyan arabic is easier, it doesn't have case endings, only three yous (the standard has five)... etc.
Anyway how did Europe abandon Latin, and adopted the vernacular?
How do you learn to spell irish (the pronunciation isn't that hard though, check libyan arabic)?
Ps. How good is my English?
It was only the educated people in Europe who could speak latin, and one of the points of the christian reformation was using the languages of the people in church, so in protestant countries, it wasn't used much.
Also, your english is good.
