We don’t witness languages evolving.
​
Sure we do. Ask your parents. English usage of fifty, sixty years ago is not english usage of today. Heck, there's plenty of language I use regularly now that didn't exist twenty years ago.
​
Also, full language->pigin->creole transitions can be seen inside a single lifetime.
