Routes of English

The Formation of English
• Latin was spoken by Romans
• Romans conquered most of
Europe
• Latin spoken in different areas
of Europe developed into
Italian, French, Spanish,
Portuguese.
• These languages are called
“Sister Languages” because
they all developed from the
same language, Latin.
Word Invasion
• In 1066, William the Conqueror invaded
England, and he spoke French, a language
derived from Latin.
• Now approximately 60% of English words are
borrowed from French
• Monks from Rome also brought Latin terms.
• During the 17th & 18th centuries, English was
seen as imperfect and Latin was seen as
perfect so to use Latin words in place of
English was seen as a good practice
Professional Vocabulary
• Latin is used by doctors, attorneys, religious leaders,
and other professions.
• The Catholic church conducted all masses entirely in
latin until 1969.
• Many latin drama/comedy authors adopted plots,
characters, and other ideas from the greeks.
• University classes are often taught entirely in latin at
many european universities.
• Latin was used frequently to write scientific and
philosophical texts until the late 1800's because of its
grammatical flexability.
