While Latin remained the dominant language of scholarship, religion, and governance for centuries, vernacular languages steadily gained prominence over time. During the Middle Ages, Latin was still the dominant language for written texts in Europe, especially within the Church, education, and legal matters. However, spoken languages diverged from Latin in different regions, giving rise to early forms of vernaculars like ***Old English, Old French, Old High German, and Old Italian.*** The Renaissance was a key period for the flourishing of vernacular languages. With the invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid-15th century, books could be mass-produced in vernacular languages. This helped accelerate their spread and established them as languages of literature, education, and politics. **Why did Vernacular Languages Rise?** - - **Literary Growth** - - **Impact** - -
