Abstract: This is a history of Europe unlike any other: a theory-informed history of its language use. The'rise'and'fall'of languages are recounted, along with an analysis of why periods of linguistic diversity are followed by hegemony. How did the sociolinguistic past differ from the sociolinguistic present?
