    In the study of linguistics, such attitudes towards language are based on perception. In history, what is considered ‘proper’ is determined by those in the higher level of society. Thus, the proper form of the language reflects the form of its most prestigious speakers. Language, as a rule, is always changing with the passing time. During the glory days of the Roman Empire, there was a dialect spoken by ‘barbarians’ in what is now Southern France. It was considered ‘vulgar latin.’ This ‘vular latin’ was the early beginning of what is today widely considered to be one of the world’s most beautiful languages, French.
