If you are going to put forward the thesis that a language’s decline is 'self-inflicted,' the responsibility lies with you to substantiate that claim with evidence, not to demand that I act as your research assistant. I have no obligation to answer your questions until you have demonstrated a genuine willingness to engage with the historical realities already presented.

So you don't know what you're talking about any more than I do and there is nothing I can learn from you. Why didn't you say so in the first place instead of wasting my time?

So you haven't looked into it, certain you know their wounds were self inflicted, and can't be bothered to do the research yourself. Unsurprising.
