British Latin or British Vulgar Latin was the Vulgar Latin spoken in Great Britain in the Roman and sub-Roman periods. While Britain formed part of the Roman Empire,Latin became the principal language of the elite and in the urban areas of the more romanised south and east of the island. In the less romanised north and west it never substantially replaced the Brittonic language of the indigenous Britons. In recent years,scholars have debated the extent to which British Latin was distinguishable from its continental counterparts,which developed into the Romance languages.
In language learning research,identity refers to the personal orientation to time,space,and society,and the manner in which it develops together with,and because of,speech development.

Latin and Greek were the dominant languages of the Roman Empire,but other languages were regionally important. Latin was the original language of the Romans and remained the language of imperial administration,legislation,and the military throughout the classical period. In the West,it became the lingua franca and came to be used for even local administration of the cities including the law courts. After all freeborn inhabitants of the Empire were granted universal citizenship in 212 AD,a great number of Roman citizens would have lacked Latin,though they were expected to acquire at least a token knowledge,and Latin remained a marker of "Romanness".
