I know the empire fell, but I still don't fully understand how the Latin language ultimately fell out of favour, such was its prominence as the lingua Franca of its time! Actually Romanian is the closest language to Latin still around!
Are all languages destined to go down this road - hard to see English dying ever!
So what would happen had it remained the Swahili of the Western world or indeed the world language fully?
