Yes, I feel that language does evolve. It is evolving all of the time. There is evidence from the past that Latin evolved into English and Spanish as well as other languages, so I have no doubt that our language is still changing now. I don’t feel that in our life we will ever notice the changes of language evolution because they will be so slight that we will start using them without thinking about it. People make up words all of the time that become part of our everyday vocabulary which can change the way we speak. For example, someone might “google” something to look it up, it’s now a term that everyone uses, although it’s not in the dictionary, it is a commonly understood word. With small changes like these, I feel that our language is changing slowing but years from now I don’t think that it will be anything like it is today.
