    What I think is interesting is that this happened only a century after Britain stopped being a province of Rome. That’s how quickly Latin was forgotten.

      They didn’t have liturgical latin to lean on at the time since they were pagans. Kind of makes sense they wouldn’t keep speaking a foreign tongue.
