Latin began in Latium around Rome, Italy. People there were called Latins.
As Rome expanded, Latin spread across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East in law, the army, and learning.
Classical Latin = polished writing; Vulgar Latin = everyday speech that became French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian.
Latin originally had 23 letters (no J, U, or W). “I” covered J-sounds; “V” covered U/V; “Y” came from Greek. English later added J, U, W.
