A language becomes dead when the quality of cognitive endowments of the people that speaks that language degenerates, rendering them incapable of forming new and advanced concepts, which eventually drives the language to its extinction.

A language becomes dead when it ceases to evolve; for it becomes incapable of remaining the base of human cognitive process and it is no longer useful in communicating existing communicable thoughts and knowledge.

A language becomes dead when it becomes incapable of serving the communication needs of the time.

A language becomes dead when it becomes useless in the progress and advancement of the society.

A language becomes extinct when interaction in that language ceases.
