The only reason you regard Latin with prestige is because of the popularity of the Romance languages that replaced it, and because it's now a dead language. If Romance languages had been replaced by non-Latin languages, no one would care about Latin. Or, if classical Latin was still the lingua franca of Europe today, you would treat Latin as any other language. Seething about how Romance languages replaced Latin is the sign of a midwit incapable of introspection and self-reflection. <|endoftext|>
