   In reply to George Gale's question about bringing dead languages back
to life, Iain Davidson replies: "Hebrew, Gaelic?"
   I don't think Irish or Scottish Gaelic qualify as dead languages since
they still have tens of thousands of speakers according to Barbara Grimes'
EHNOLOGUE: LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD.
