You’re describing every language for the overwhelming majority of the last 150,000+ years. English is not unique in that.

Name a single language that didn't have an aristocracy that knew how to read and write and learned formalized Grammer for the majority of that languages history.

I didn't read anything else you didn't understand after that first bit tho.

I can help a little, but I'm not teaching an etymology class over here.

    You do realize more than half of the world's ~7,000 languages still have no writing system, right?

    😂 I'm going to be generous and assume you're just trolling now and don't seriously believe this.
