Cause Turkic existed.

>Turkic

Made up ethnicity.

It just evolved over time with no Central government in Rome dictating how it should be spoken and written

I think he doesn't mean old Latin, but how nobility, clergy, intelligentsia and generally educated people throughout Europe learnt Latin through all those centuries, right ?

Up to the renaissance many books and treaties were written in Latin, the mass was still done in Latin instead of vernacular, etc

Even to this day many top tier rich kids still learn Latin and Greek.

Personally i assume it's because of how translations became so good and widespread, at some point you didn't need to learn Latin to have access to culture anymore.

Peasants is why.

Germanic people fucked up Europe.

French Revolution basically; they no longer ascribed to the language of the clergy and the academicians.

>top tier rich kids
in europe still a lot of us learn latin... I didn't, i picked economics... but still...

Depends. Only like 10% of the Dutch kids learn Latin; the other 90% are too dumb. With The Netherlands being one of the most developed countries in the EU, I doubt that a different European country has much higher percentages.

>>1813133
So "a lot" is quite a bit overestimated.

>>1812897
I'd guess it'd be the romantic and nationalist movements which kinda eliminated its need. That and the French revolution like >>1813108 said

>>1812681
I think they got bored one day.
