Principally through the influence of the Church, it became the language of later medieval European scholars and philosophers. Because Latin is a highly inflectional and [[synthetic]] language, word order is to some extent variable, compared with mostly [[analytic]] languages such as English, which has lost the ancient noun-case system inherited from [[Proto-Indo-European]] except in pronouns, although in prose the Romans tended to favor a SOV word order.
