There are cultures who have fought vehemently to preserve their language in its original form. Eg: Quebec, Canada .. and their version of French.

Thesedays, I understand that the folk from modern France, find the modern Quebecer's spoken language, quite strange. They can still communicate verbally with no problems, but there are differences arising from Quebec's French being isolated from European French, for as long as it has (in spite of France being the origin for it).

Both cultures go on fighting to preserve their changing languages (presumably from incursions as those mentioned in this thread).

I wonder what the long term outcome(s) of that defence might be ?

Cheers
