'''Vulgar Latin''' - sometimes called '''Medieval Latin''' - is the form of [[Latin]] spoken, from the final centuries of the [[Roman Empire]] to the end of the Middle Ages, throughout the countries of the Mediterranean and in some other areas which had been part of the [[Roman Empire]]. '''Vulgar Latin''', which is usually contrasted with [[Classical Latin]], i.e., the language of [[Cicero]], [[Livy]], and [[Virgil]], was a living language and, as such, developed over time as well as differing from one region to another under the influence of, among other things, the various pre-existing native languages of the regions.

'''Vulgar''' in the expression '''Vulgar Latin''' has no [[pejorative]] force, and this use of the word must be distinguished from its (more frequent) use to mean ‘rude, crude, or tasteless’. '''Vulgar''' comes from the [[Latin]] ''vulgaris'', meaning ‘common’, ‘general’, an [[adjective]] from the [[noun]] ''vulgus'', ‘the mass of the people’, ‘the public’, ‘the common people’, ‘the crowd’: '''Vulgar Latin''' is so called simply because it was a widely spoken form of the language rather than a form used only by the well-educated or the learned.
