Latin then survived as the laguage of the clergy and diplomacy. It has remained Latin, in opposite to the languages deriving from it, i.e. French, Romanic, Spanish, Portugese etc., although it differs from the classical Latin. "Pure, high Latin" is put a bit awkwardly. Anyway, I doubt that Latin in its truest sense has ever been spoken by ordinary folk. EuphrasieF wa nihonjin desu ka, gaijin desu ka? My lessons took place years ago, so don´t make the answer too complicated, please ;-)

Well, either of the two. I termed it "pure, high" in the context. I was taught that there also was a vulgar Latin in the Roman area - which of course has hardly been the language being used in texts like De bello Gallico etc. The classical was of course a vernacular, the later ecclesiastical and diplomatical. At any rate, the classical, in a corrupted form, had served as a lingua franca in the occupied areas. So various terms may have been blurred.

What is "pure, high Latin"? Students of Latin study either the earlier, classical strain or ecclesiastical/Medieval Latin; which are you thinking of? Because the former was a vernacular at one point.

i totaly agree with PalmerWhit its easy to love and not hate but unfortunately its easier to think that its easier to hate then love.....its easier to blame the others without looking at your own errors.....HIV killed her but not all of her the rest of her will live forever in our memories

It's such a shame all of this fighting. Why all of the concern about a few markers on a strand of DNA? We are all human beings and we live on this planet together. We can choose to fight about petty things, or we can be peaceful and listen to beautiful music. Respect Ofra's memory.
