INTRODUCTION TO WORLD CIVILIZATION (DÜNYA MEDENİYETLERİNE GİRİŞ) - (İNGİLİZCE) Dersi The Byzantine Civilization soru detayı:
SORU:
When was Latin replaced with Greek as the official language of early Constantinople?
CEVAP: Although Latin was the official language of early Constantinople, as it was of the entire Roman Empire, that language was replaced by Greek after the sixth century CE. Greek, which had long been the vernacular in Constantinople anyway, became the language of government in Byzantium. As a result, as time went by Byzantine scholars and religious figures did not have to, nor did they tend to, learn to read Latin.
