I also thought that you meant Latin-of-AD-400, when it *was* the common
language all over the fricking place. ie, classical Greek in AD 50 was
roughly similar to Latin in AD 400, position-wise, which is more or less
like English in AD 2000, and (as far as the Western World is considered,
at least) there haven't really been any in between those.

You don't think French qualified as an interim Lingua Franca, for the
Western World, preceding English?

No, I don't. It didn't reach nearly as far as Latin did or English does
today.
