<Personally, I am (now) inclined to think it is the ideological factor that has been predominant. It had become a religious belief, a di.t.hi., so not really Buddhistic.( There is somewhere the idea that a child kept isolated from socity would start to speak Maagadhii.)>

I think I read once about an experiment carried out somewhere in Europe, when a child was actually isolated from birth to see if he would start speaking Hebrew (which, in the Judeo-Christian tradition of the time, was supposed to be the language of God himself).

Which the child didn't.

He didn't start speaking Pali either, nor Sanskrit.

He didn't start speaking at all.
