Shecky:
Well, sure; even Latin as given by the HRC church evolved over the centuries. Didn't say it wouldn't change, but remember that true outside influences in Alera were at zero and that such evolution would be entirely internal... i.e., within the Latin itself.

It would still have to evolve. Weren't there merc's with the legion? Doing a search.
Shecky:
Yes, but again, without truly external influences (i.e., a lot of contact with entire NATIONS that speak a different language, not a few people inside a Legion who will be speaking Latin by default as explained), the evolution will be internal and therefore slower and less pronounced. And finally, please remember that I said "Latin", not "entirely unchanged over two millennia Latin".

Wait, what about Cannim and the Marat? Aren't they external, or are they too different to make a difference?

There's been zero effort to have extended (read: external to war) contact with them. They're too not THERE to make a difference. :D
