Summary/Abstract: "The language is a happening, not a state." This thesis is the main problem of this work which unites "former" and "present" language, which by nature we couldn't unite. We accomplish all these "tenets" through fifty – years - old language material! The material is contained from about fifteen letters and particular archives documentation. We analized every each document, including private letters, in phonetical, morfological, lexical and sintaxical level. All of this is supported with examples from the text. Based on this, we will be able to see the language changes in time.
