Same scenario as if Christendom had kept on using Latin in the universities and in the Church?
Possibly. Classical Arabic is what's used in all books. So ppl read/write it all the time. No one writes in colloquial-it's spoken only.

I think Spanish is the same. Right,

Still amazed that a language that modern people read and write all the time could be anything like its 1400 year old version.

It's pretty common for many languages actually. It's English that's unique. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_Arabic …pic.twitter.com/Fa8LjronSE
