1 .Yes. Being one of the oldest languages in the world, it has died off over the years.

2. It is not dead at all. Most prayers and religious chants said by Hindus, a fourth of the worlds population, is said in Sanskrit.

However it is not a spoken language for normal conversation, so may in that sense be considered unused or "dead".

One cavaet however, legend has it that Sanskrit is supposed to be the universal language spoken all around the universe, particularly in astral realms, even if not currently used in this planetary system. It is supposed to come and go as a main language. Currently it is not used.
