| definition: |
Latin is a language that was spoken a long time ago in Italy and in the Roman Empire two thousand years ago. The Roman Empire was a large empire that had its first capital in Rome. The Latin language changed a lot over time and eventually developed into more modern languages like Italian, Spanish, and French. Latin stopped being spoken by people in their daily lives, but Latin continued to be used as a church language into modern times.
