      Latin was the administrative language throughout the Western Empire Greek was a prestige language among Roman elites but didn't get past that in the West and the Eastern empire didn't conquer much But Iberia and Gaul were Latin for centuries

          Meanwhile the Arabs conquered and held the Levant for a millenium and basically extirpated Greek

          Greeks sired alphabets, like the Phoenicians before them, rather than languages

          Latin was the top level admin language everywhere until officially replaced by Greek around 600, iirc. Eastern parts of the empire spoke Greek widely long before the Romans, but not necessarily natively.

          A notable factoid here is that the New Testament was originally written in common (as opposed to Attic) Greek, not Aramaic (the other contender for a universal language in that region)

          Eastern Empire conquered plenty! Trick was their stuff got conquered by people who imposed their different languages in the populace. In the West, the barbarians assimilated before conquering.

          When the West fell, it wasn't by a dominant hegemon. It fell apart, and its successors were just whoever was there. The East was conquered by the caliphate who had their Arabic language to impose
