If languages weren’t able to change none of us would be speaking the languages we speak nowadays.

The current English language is a mix of German, French and Old English (or whatever language Anglo-saxons spoke).

The current Spanish is a mix of Vulgar Latin, Arabic, Occitan (really old French) and Basque.

Languages are alive because WE are alive. Languages change because WE change.
