  7. Cities = New centers of trade, education, architecture and language • Cities begin to develop their own vernaculars… or languages unique to a specific region. • Latin was the language of Rome, but as these cities grew, so did their language. • Latin develops into different vernaculars in the Middle Ages: • French • Spanish • German • English
