 The 'vulgar' or conversational Latin language that continued to evolve after the establishment of the successor kingdoms of the Roman State incorporated Germanic vocabulary, but with minimal influences from Germanic grammar (Germanic languages did not displace Latin except in northern Belgium, England, the Rhineland Moselle region and north of the Alps).For a few centuries this language remained relatively common across most of Western Europe (as a result, Italian, Spanish, French, etc.are far more similar to each other than to Classical Latin), though regional dialects were already developing.
