Probably gradually from the fifth century through the 8th, Latin evolved into the romance languages of French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian. Changes in language started with the Germanic invasions and settlements in the 4th century. Latin ceased to be spoken in society except in the Roman Catholic church. However, Medieval Latin continued to be used in education, medicine and other fields in Europe until the 18th century.
