Rudyard Kipling was a British journalist known for his work in poetry. In one of his poems titled "The White Man's Burden," he wrote the phrase "send forth the best you breed" where he was addressing the Europeans.
The reason he wants the Europeans to send out their "best breed" is to face the natives he described as " half devil and half child" to redeem them through cultural superiority or colonization.
English, Chinese, French, Japanese, are a few that come to mind, If you are talking about Imperialistic Great Britian and France during the Age of Imperialism. I'm not sure about all of those other ones, except Latin was I'm sure dead around that age.
