Yeah, that's the "royal discipline" of classic-style naturalistic
conlanging!  This is what Master Tolkien did with his Quendian
languages - and I am doing the same with Albic.  Old Albic will
have a number of modern descendants (I currently have plans for four,
but perhaps I'll do more - there is plenty of room for Albic
languages in my conworld[1]) descended from various Old Albic
dialects.

[1] The conworld of Albic is the world of the League of Lost Languages,
i.e., essentially our world with a few extra languages.  The speakers
of Old Albic, who might have been the REAL Atlanteans, sailed the
entire northern Atlantic and set up quite a few tradeposts, of which
an indefinite number survived and evolved their own language.
