You should see a doctor. You really have a knotted brain. That is not good.
The Roman Empire fell in 476, more than 1,500 years ago.
Do you really think that the language would remain static all that time ?
You could ask with the same logic why the French speak French and the Spaniards speak Spanish and not Latin

Italian is still based from Latin, After the collapse of Rome many different tribes moved through Italy and their influence has given us the modern Italian we know today.

I’m Italian (Ego italiana sum): do you still speak Saxon or, if you are American, whatever Indian Language was spoken in your region? ^__^

Try to look at a language like it were a technology. So, it is changed by its users day by day, as every technology is. A language can develop, get success, and spread around. Or it can loose importance, become outdated, die and disappear. Language history and etymology study such changes.
(I.g.: five years ago you used idiomatic words, verbs, or expressions which are not more used today; nowadays, English is much more influenced by Spanish then it was 30 years ago; future English will differ from the one you speak today)
Latin was used by Romans several centuries ago (in actual fact, there wasn’t just one Latin but several ones: classic and vulgars). After the Roman Empire collapse, Classic Latin lost its importance among the several peoples of former empire. So, those peoples developped several new languages from their own Vulgar Latins along centuries: Portuguese, Spanish, Catalan, French, Provençal, Italian, Sardinian, Ladin, Dalmatian, Rumanian. Dalmatian died in the second half of XIX century. Catalan, Provençal, Sardinian, and Ladin are dialects nowadays. The others are national languages.
Anyway, Classic Latin was used in the academic word till the XVIII century. And it still is an official language in Vatican City.
Hope this can help you.
