Theory: this is latent Protestantism showing itself. Protestants hated the Latin Mass and vilified anything associated with Roman Catholicism. And so depicting Latin as the language of the Devil was part of this project.

I mean, Nero was considered an antichrist.
Yup, specially the Beast with the 666
The real Satan speak Sumerian, that's a well-known fact.
What if the Romans got Latin from Satan?
Satan did tempt Eve with knowledge.
Makes sense, Satan's a lawyer
Probably cuz the religion was invented 2000 years ago
Yeah but they were speaking ancient hebrew and aramaic not latin
Then the Aramaic texts were translated into Greek, which were then spread in the Roman empire, until eventually a Roman caesar was converted, who then made it the state religion, which after the empire collapsed the church apparatus that survived used the fact that only the educated elite still spoke Latin as a form of political control, which then caused then cultural perception of Latin to be associated with the arcane and powerful.
So presto chango Latin speaking Satan was born
Maybe Latin is just a simplified form of Infernal that us humans can pronounce
Satan: No idea why you’d think I wouldn’t move on from Latin. Probably something to take up with movie directors, hey?
Maybe Hell is just so full of red tape that it was only thousands of years after it had been a predominant language, did they switch to Latin for all contracts. In another 1000 years, they’ll switch to Mandarin, by which point we’ll be speaking duck.
Hell still runs on cobol.
It's why it still works.
Quackity quack? Quack!
Well, I can't imagine hell does a lot of innovating in the humanities. At least not any that isn't a form of punishment. They probably just take whatever inventions humans come up with that suit their needs.
Latin was the language most conducive to evil.
I don't think any regime beats the combined evil of the British Empire and the Epstein Regime, so why do you think Latin is the language most conducive to evil?
The oldest lenguage still in use is Basque, it's straight from the stone age. All words that have to do with cutting or separating, have as their root word stone.
Latin is like the second oldest language still in use or something isn't it?
Well, thers hebrew, greek, farsi which are actually spoken. Ancient greek is still sifferent than modern greek as, i assume, is the same for the others.
Modern hebrew is a recent (post WW2) reconstruction of ancient hebrew that just kinda makes shit up sometimes. I wouldn't call them the same thing.
The lineage of ancient Hebrew was Yiddish just as todays greek naturally grew out of ancient greek (probably idk the language history of greek so maybe its weird too idk)
