Books about the decline of language today sell in the millions—but people from Jonathan Swift to George Orwell to Lynne Truss have been saying the same of English for centuries, and people worry about other languages' decline around the world, too. Languages don't really "decline," but our anxiety about how they change tells us much about community, class, globalization and the tricky politics of identity.
