Celebrity Solstice was, at 122,000 GT, the largest ship to be built at a German shipyard, but this record was surpassed by the Disney Dream, a 128,000 GT cruise ship of the Disney Cruise Line.
Languages can definitely change and they can diverge. For example, Latin split up into the modern Romance languages: Portuguese, Spanish, Romanian, Galician, etc. This is less known, but languages can also converge: those languages are called creole. Some people argue that English is also similar to a creole: a mix of Germanic and French.
Why is Latin a dead language? A language is called a dead language when it is no longer spoken by people as their main language. In contrast to extinct languages that cease to have any speakers, dead languages may continue to be used in legal, scientific and religious fields.
