Latin (lingua lătīna, IPA: /laˈtiːna/) is an Italic language originally spoken in Latium and Ancient Rome. With the Roman conquest, Latin was spread to countries around the Mediterranean, including a large part of Europe. Romance languages such as Aragonese, Corsican, Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Sardinian, Spanish and others, are descended from Latin, while many others, especially European languages, have inherited and acquired much of their vocabulary from it. Latin was the international language of science and scholarship in central and western Europe until the 17th century, when it was gradually replaced with vernacular languages.

What caused the Latin language to fade away?
Q. I enjoy the Latin language and am interested in learning it. What has caused it to fade away and become a rare art form
Asked by Glock Girl - Tue Oct 28 04:26:46 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The collapse of the Roman Empire and the Dark Ages. They were referred to as the 'Dark Ages' because literacy and knowledge practically disappeared, except mainly for nobility and the Catholic church, which is why masses are still conducted in Latin. When the Renaissance occurred, several regions had assimilated Latin into their native languages coining the term 'Romantic' languages, which include French, Spanish and Portuguese. Regional fiefdoms became countries and adopted the indigenous languages of their areas as their national languages, opting for something other than Latin.

Q. What is the closest Latin language to Spanish, and which is the most different?
Asked by unknown - Wed Jul 28 05:36:51 2010 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. People are unaware that apart from Italian, Spanish, French, etc, there are other languages which come from Latin, especially in Spain: Catalan and Galician. The closest is Portuguese. Catalan is a bit similar but it ressembles French more. The most different is Romanian, as it has been mixed with a lot of Slavic words due to its isolation from the rest of Romanic languages.
