The relationship between French and Latin?

Latin is the official language used by the Romans and the language used by the Roman Empire for trade. After Gaul became a Roman province, Latin became a fashion in the upper class and a symbol of status. Through the spread of merchants and immigrants among the people, Latin gradually replaced Celtic. After a long time, the Latin of Gaul evolved into the Romance of the Middle Ages, and later became the French of today.

Latin belongs to the Indo-European-Italian language family, which originated from Latin (Lazio, Italy) and was used by the Roman Empire. Although Latin is generally regarded as an extinct language, a few Christian clergy and scholars can use Latin fluently.
