languages evolve. Contrary to popular opinion, Latin did not fall into disuse because of the fall of the Roman empire. It continued on in modified form as a vernacular language for centuries in certain places.
But over time the language did change. New words would be added, existing pronunciations modified. Two very closely allied descendants of Latin exist today – Sardinian and Romanian remain very close to the original language.
Latin remains today the official language of the Vatican state, and is actually spoken there (albeit as everyone’s second language.)
The Roman Empire fell- why would we speak a language of a nation that no longer exists?
IT IS A DEAD LANGUAGE BUT TOO MANY COUNTRIES SPEAK ITS DERIVATIVES ,FRENCH,SPANISH….LATIN VULGAR LANGUAGES THEY ARE CALLED ,THE REASON IS THAT THE EMPIRE WAS INVADED FROM THE NORTH AND INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER LANGUAGES AND EVOLUTION HELPED FORM NEW ONES WHICH ARE USED TODAY
Latin is a dead language used in only a few fields today such as academics and religious purposes, other than that there is not much daily need to learn the language as not many sources depend on it. The romans now speak english while the Persians never did speak latin they spoke Farsi.
Languages evolve as cultures do. Latin evolved into the "Romance" languages of France, Italy, and Spain. Once, the only spoken languages in the Americas were the native Indian languages, but as their culture is replaced by our European derived one, their language is slowly phased out. Just as latin, however, the old language will be evident in the new. Many of our place names utilise the native American languages, such as "ohio" and "erie".
