Latin is a classical language that was spoken in ancient Rome and is now used as a liturgical and scholarly language. It is the official language of the Roman Catholic Church and is written in the Latin alphabet. Latin is a dead language, meaning that it is no longer spoken as a native language, but it has had a significant influence on many modern languages, including English, Spanish, French, and Italian.
English is a West Germanic language of the Indo-European language family, with its earliest forms spoken by the inhabitants of early medieval England.
