  • Between 350 BC and 150 AD, Latin became the dominant native language in Western Europe with the expansion of the Empire
  • Also influential in Southeastern Britain, Roman province of Africa, and the Balkans
  • Lack of documented evidence due to differences from Classical Latin.
  • Latin case system replaced by prepositions, use of articles, the loss of neuter gender.
