Phoenician to Aramaic 950 BC the start of modern writting for others to see
Then Hebrew to Moabite then Phrygian as well around 800 BC
The written word was now afoot, oh Ammonite as well
Then a split as often comes between one arab and another
Old North Arabian and Old South Arabian argue with each other
So moving west Etruscan came at 700 BC
Then Umbrian and North Picene you heard of them today?
As Lepontic and Tartessian tried to talk to others
Now we start to get a grip and influence the modern
From Lydian to Carian, Thracian to Venetic
All around the 6th century BC people started jotting
Old Persian came and went Latins still around
Then South Picene and Messapian to Gaulish
Language now ruled the world and all the ways we wrote it
Mixe–Zoque some say isnt really true
But Oscan and Iberian followed on through
So Meroitic, Faliscan at 300 BC came next
Then Volscian and Middle Indo-Aryan or Prakrit the Ashoka calls it
Then one thats still around Tamil you might know it
Christianity was on its way as Galatian was used
Pahlavi and Celtiberian al cald pre antiquity
Lets move on till after Christ and language moves full on
Bactrian and Proto-Norse in northen europe common
Cham and Mayan, Gothic and Ge'ez and accepted Arabic
Christs been dead 300 yrs and language starts to flourish
Primitive Irish now exists and an odd one called Ekoi
Try to remember though its still only the 4th century
Georgian now is used in a church in Bethlehem
A bible is written in Armenian
Kannada in Halmidi
West Germanic to that becomes Old High German
English now for the first time starts to rear its head
Old English to Korean Tocharian to Old Irish
In parts of southern England they even speak Cornish
Centuries before Pol *** there is now Cambodian
Others speaking Udi, Telugu and Tibetan
Now language is getting modern
Old Malay in the far east to Welsh in my back yard
It wasnt long before the world was writting many forms
Mandarin and English now are common place
A miriad of people and language in their states
So venture forth to foreign lands and visit as a guest
Take a pen and paper to help you on your quest
If you can cross your legs or draw a beer you really cant go wrong
Remember you dont speak their tongue its you not them thats dumb!!!
