Today I had a thought a problem I couldn't resolve it on my own. I just can't realize what people will think right after they hear others using the word "co-living" and "co-evolving". I mean a particular thought of any specific information that comes to mind once you may hear I say "they have co-lived and co-evolved since then", for example.
Another example I doubt if their use is truly versatile and correct,
Your and my native languages have been co-living and co-evolving for hundreds of years
Answer
Co-evolving is an established word, at least among evolutionary scientists.
Co-living is not an established word.
Cohabiting is such a well established word that it doesn't even need a hyphen, and has the meaning that you might expect from co-living.
Although we sometimes describe a language as "living", it's not clear to me that a pair of languages could "cohabit", however. Try coexisting instead.
