The prominence of a language would not depend on the development or fall of other languages,&#8221; the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>Rather the growth and importance can be attributed only to the usage of language and creative contribution in the forms of arts and literature, it said.<\/p>\n<p>The bench said it was for experts to verify that the languages satisfy the norms and recommend for the declaration of classical status.<\/p>\n<p>Having satisfied themselves, the experts had recommended declaration of the languages in consideration to be classical.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Facts which made the expert body to recommend promulgation of such declaration has also been placed before us.
