I am writing a story that involves Latin not being a dead language, could someone give me an idea on what it would sound like? It would be easy if you could relate to other accents, I think it might sound like British, Italian, or Spanish? But I’m not sure, thus reasoning for posting it on here. Hopefully looking forward for an informative answer

Why did people stop speaking Latin? I’m sure they didn’t all wake up one day and start speaking Italian instead. Did it have to do with the fall of the Roman Empire? How did Latin evolve into Italian?
