Latin was once the dominant language throughout much of Europe. In fact, it remained the common language of international communication, science, scholarship, and academia across the continent until well into the early 19th century. However, its relevance as a widely used language diminished shortly afterward. But despite being declared a dead language, Latin has greatly influenced the English language to the point where many words and phrases belonging to this ancient tongue are included in the English lexicon.
