A classical language is a language with a literature that is classical . According to UC Berkeley linguist George L. Hart , it should be ancient, it should be an independent tradition that arose mostly on its own, not as an offshoot of another tradition, and it must have a large and extremely rich body of ancient literature.
Classical languages are typically dead languages , or show a high degree of diglossia , as the spoken varieties of the language diverge further away from the classical written language over time.
In the context of traditional European classical studies , the "classical languages" refer to ancient Greek and Latin , which were the literary languages of the Mediterranean world in classical antiquity .
