Missing Language Master Page

[SHIBANI06]

If the language master is deleted accidentally, can we create a new page under language master with the same name as live copy and rollout?

Will the changes reflect in the live copy that is already present ? 

What is the right way to restore language master if it has been deleted years back?

Best practice is to continuously back up your environments on a daily or weekly basis, for incase something like this happens. And I honestly never encountered this problem, but what I would do is copy over a page folder structure that is close to your language master folder (of pages), and then comparing we-retail's project, configure nodes and properties as expected. 

I created a blog article a while back about how to resync language masters to live copy nodes, you can check here https://sourcedcode.com/blog/aem/how-to-re-sync-a-live-copy-language-root-to-a-blueprint-in-aem-msm

@SHIBANI06 If the language master page was deleted while selecting archive option, then there might still be hope.

Just select the parent page of this language master page and select restore tree and it opens a restore tree page.

If you are lucky, you will see your language master page in the restore tree page. If it is there, simply select the page and click restore.

Otherwise, you should follow what @BrianKasingli mentioned.
