Detailed explanation-1: -Many Latin root words are also the foundation for many English words. The English alphabet is based on the Latin alphabet. Along with that, a lot of Latin is still used in the present-day justice system. The use of Latin words is not the only way the ancient Romans have influenced the Western justice system.
Detailed explanation-2: -Latin essentially “died out” with the fall of the Roman Empire, but in reality, it transformed-first into a simplified version of itself called Vulgar Latin, and then gradually into the Romance languages: Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Romanian. Thus, Classical Latin fell out of use.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Romance languages-Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian are all descended directly from Latin. Because of Latin’s total reliance on word endings to convey sentence structure, its study also makes it easier to learn German and Russian, languages which still rely on the use of such word endings.
