Expert Solution
Step 1

Languages also undergo historical changes. They undergo assimilation from the influence of other languages, as various speakers interact throughout history. As a result of assimilation and integration, some languages also become extinct as the speakers die. The studies that are related to the study of changes in a language throughout history are called historical linguistics.
