Question

What was the difference between common language and the official language in the Middle Ages and how did that contribute to the growth of a new form of art

Answer 1

Explanation:

Three main languages were in use in England in the later medieval period – Middle English, Anglo-Norman (or French) and Latin. Authors made choices about which one to use, and often used more than one language in the same document. Eventually English emerged as the standard literary medium, but it was not until the eighteenth century that Latin disappeared from legal documents.

Hebrew and Aramaic were used by the medieval Jewish community in England.

,Medieval Latin has a much larger vocabulary than Classical Latin, mainly from translating Greek and Hebrew concepts for religious works like the Vulgate. Word order preference also varies amongst medieval authors depending on

First, Latin was the language of the Church. All services were conducted in Latin, and the Bible was known in Western Europe in the Latin Vulgate translation, produced by St Jerome (d. 420) in the late fourth century. Consequently, Latin was considered one of the three sacred languages (along with Greek and Hebrew).
