-
Knowledge of Greek, long important in Roman culture, was almost lost
Few people could read Greek works of literature, sci- ence, and philosophy.
The Germanic tribes, though, had a rich oral tradition of songs and legends. But they had no written language
Loss of Common Language
As German-speaking peoples mixed with the Roman population, Latin changed. While it was still an official language, it was no longer understood.
By the 800s, French, Spanish, and other Roman-based languages had evolved from Latin. The development of various languages mirrored the continued breakup of a once-unified empire.
