Hundred years ago the most common language was Latin, Greek is even older than latin and was less popular, but it didn't die, Latin died and from it were born other languages. Greek evolved from ancient Greek. But HOW did Greek not disappear as Latin did?

Could you explain to me the process during history that made Greek be preserved through the years up now?

Thanks in advance :)

mean France and Germany. And does this act if you read Bible in any language other than it's own language which is Latin, doesn't somehow devalue the religious value of it and is it not an insult to God?
Thanks in Advance.

My husband is very interested in Ancient Rome and can speak Latin well ... but I can't ask him this. I'm planning a surprise for him for Valentine's Day ... I want to have a watch engraved with this phrase "I will love you my whole life, you and no other" in Latin. Can anyone give me the Latin translation? Thanks in advance.

I've noticed many people ask questions about latin in the language section. That made me courious. Do they teach latin at schools or do people just learn it because they want to? Is it common to learn latin in the United States? Thanks in advance for your answer.
