How were bad words created?

There are no bad words. Languages need words for all sorts of reasons, and profane language is created for much the same reason scientific language is created - because it is needed by some sections of a society. A word is a profanity because it offends (or it is intended to offend), or mocks a portion of that society, and once it loses that ability it ceases to be profane.


What difficulties did the peasants encounter to acquire land?

Peasants were considered lower poor or lower in the social structure. It was difficult to obtain land because of the cost of land and the ability to save or pay for the land.


How was Latin kept alive in the middle ages?

Latin was the language of the Church in Western Europe. The Vulgate Bible was the Latin translation, one of several, that were widely used in the West in the Church. Early papal communication was all in Latin, and so Latin was the established language of the Church from the beginning. As time passes, languages change. Different dialects of the same language become less and less similar, until the people who speak them are unable to understand each other; this process usually takes about a thousand years or so. The people from different parts of Western Europe found it more and more difficult to communicate over time, and the Latin language evolved into French, Spanish, Italian, and the other Romance Language. The Church, however, provided education in Latin, and the effect was that as the common language changed, the education remained in a rather conservative formal language that was stable. This benefited not only the Church itself, but the governments of nations, which recorded laws and did diplomacy with each other in Latin, and scholars, who could communicate with each other in Latin, regardless of where in Western Europe they lived.


Who introduced technology?

This question is very difficult and long... Simply because 'Technology' is not a simple and easy word. If you think about modern technology you think of computers however if you mean the current technology to what ever line that maybe then Technology has been around since the dawn of time no matter which you believe (religion or otherwise) because Farmers still exist in both creationist stories.


Is Latin from Roman Empire the same as Latin used today?

Yes and no. In the days of the Roman Empire, there were two distinct forms of the Latin language. They were Classical Latin and Vulgar Latin. Classical Latin was the written form, used on inscriptions, poetry, literature, documents, and anything else that was written down. Because it was written down and there are thousands of examples of it, it has survived into modern times. Vulgar Latin, on the other hand, was the spoken language and rarely if ever written down. This register of the language is truly dead. However, its legacy lives on in the Romance Languages. Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Romanian, Catalan, and many others are directly descended from the spoken Vulgar Latin of ancient Rome. So yes, today's Latin is basically the same as the written form as it was used in ancient times, but the everyday language of the typical Roman was quite different.
