Latin. It's been extinct for quite a while but throughout history it has been sort of the unofficial language of the academia I guess. At least in the middle ages and Renaissance, knowing Latin brought you mad street cred.

and Church

not really any church except for the Catholic church, and even then it's only chanted in mass, etc.

And the Roman Empire, obviously. Although I can't imagine it being considered cool then since (presumably) every pleb in the civilized world spoke it. Honestly, I'm glad it isn't around anymore - it's a freaking nightmare.

EDIT: Do they still use Latin to any large extent in the Vatican? I'd think they'd just use Italian, but I'm not sure.

For texts and such, I mean. Obviously they cannot speak it.

Yah I've been to the Vatican, it's still the official language, but there's no real way of knowing whether or not they actually speak it on a normal basis or just Italian.

As I said, they cannot speak it, it's extinct. You can say stuff like: "Let us go to the Colosseum" or "May Jupiter bless you with a thousand victories", but there is too much of a gap in the vocabulary for it to be an effective means of communication.

How was VC btw? It's pretty damn small isn't it?
