Latin
Latin Language of ancient
Rome, the
Roman Empire, and of educated medieval European society. It belongs to the family of
Indo-European languages. Its earliest written records are inscriptions and legal formulas of the late 6th century
bc. As Rome extended its rule throughout Italy, Latin gained supremacy. The richest phase of
Latin literature was the Augustan age (43 bc–ad 14). Spoken Latin was used throughout the Roman Empire. It eventually broke up into numerous dialects, which formed the basis of the
Romance languages. Latin remained the language of the Church, science, medicine, law, education, and most written transactions in Europe throughout the Middle Ages. It was still used in some scholarly and diplomatic circles in the 19th century, and the Roman Catholic mass was in Latin until the 1960s.
