There wasn't a single dialect used in Rome, though. Soldiers, merchants, and slaves used Vulgar Latin, and the senators and wealthy used Classic Latin.

And er, Rome wasn't formed out of a defunct (that's the word you were looking for, I think) Latin nation, since there wasn't really a Latin nation to begin with. There was no central government, just a language that was common among the people on the Italian peninsula, even if there were different dialects in different areas.

Generally a language is considered different when it undergoes substantial changes that makes it more than just a different dialect of the same language (e.g. southern English and English in England are still considered the same language despite being vastly different).

Good to know, Theo, thanks. Most of my language knowledge comes from an old Indian shaman who is my Uncle, and very well learnt, but obviously word of mouth isn't perfect in any which way.

She learns languages way too bloody quickly, it's a little scary.
I'm pretty sure you could drop her almost anywhere on the world and she'd be speaking the local language fluently withing a couple of months to half a year depending on how complicated the language is.

In LotRO, the trend is black. Every single god dam person has their armor dyed black. Every piece of armor. Going into Bree is like simply walking into Mordor, nothing but shadows everywhere.

I would like the option to add more red / white / gold combos to my pally. More brown / green for my Druid. More (ugh) black or grey or olive for my rogue.
I think we get the point.
