"The speech of the old men differs from that of the young people. Both archaic elements and recent innovations are
found by side. Some features are becoming rarer and rarer, while others are gaining in frequency. It is inevitable that
speken language, for that very reason, can never be in a state of perfect stability"(Historical linguisticsand Indo-Aryan languages P-4).

The Sanskrit language, what ever be its antiquity, is of a wonderful structure; more perfect than the Grek, morecopious than the Latin, and more exquisitely refined than either, yet hearning to both of them a stronger affinity, both inthe roots of verbs and in the forms of grammar, than could possibly have been produced by accident, so strong indeed,that no philologer could examine them all three, without believing them to have strong from some common source which,perhaps, no longer exists there is a similar reason, though not quite so forcible, for supposing that both the Gathik andthe Eelthik though handled with a very different idiom, had the same origin with the Sanskrit; and the old perssian might
be added to the same family ;

There is really no such thing as absolute immobility.Every part of language is subjected to change (A course is general linguistics - F.D. Sassure) If linguistic change results in a group of persons between whichcommunication is disturbed, these groups speak different dialects of the language (Postulations to the science oflanguage P. 53)
exceptions
During the first three quarters of the nineteenth century no one, so far as we know, ventured to limit thepossibilities in the sense of our scheme... these phrased this historically by saying that a speech - sound might change
in one way in some forms, but might change in another way or fall to change in other formsLanguage P. 352, 353 Phonetic laws have no exceptionsNeogrammarians
