What impact did the latin language have on rome?

The language of the Romans was Latin. Western languages have adopted and adapted the Latin alphabet. The romance languages, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian are languages derived from Latin. There are many words of Latin origin in the English language due to two causes. One was that Latin was the language of the church in the Middle Ages. The other was the Norman conquest of England. French became the language of the court and many French words entered the English language. Most of these words are of Latin origin. Latin was the lingua franca of the European elites in the Middle ages and Renaissance. For many centuries, until recently, the European elites studied Latin and Greek at school. Many Latin words are used in medicine, law and theology.
