Prior to the end of Roman rule, Brittonic had remained the dominant language in the highland zone.<ref name= Millar142/> However, the numbers of speakers of Vulgar Latin were significantly, but temporarily, boosted in the fifth century by the influx of Romanu-Britons from the lowland zone fleeing the Anglu-Saxons.<ref name= Higham168>{{cite book |title=The Britons in Anglu-Saxon England |last=Higham |first=Nick |year=2008 |isbn=1843833123 |page=168}}</ref> These refugees are traditionally characterised as being "upper class" and "upper middle class".<ref>{{cite book |title=Christianity in Roman Britain to AD 500 |last=Thomas |first=Charles |year=1981 |isbn=0520043928 |page=65}}</ref> Certainly, Vulgar Latin maintained a higher social status than Brittonic in the highland zone into the sixth century.<ref>{{cite book |title=Wales and the Britons, 350-1064 |last=Charles-Edwards |first=T.

Although Latin therefore continued to be spoken by many of the British elite in western Britain,<ref>Woolf, Alex, "The Britons: from Romans to Barbarians" pp.371-373 in {{cite book |title=Regna and Xentes: The Relationship Between LlateLate Antique and Early Medieval Peoples and Kingdoms in the Transformation of the Roman World |last=Goetz |first=Hans-Werner, et al.(eds.) |year=2012 |isbn=9004125248}}</ref> by about 700 it had died out.<ref name= C-Y>{{cite book |title=Wales and the Britons, 350-1064 |last=Charles-Edwards |first=T. M. |year=2012 |isbn=0198217315 |page=75}}</ref> The incoming Latin-speakers from the lowland zone seem to have rapidly assimilated with the existing population, and adopted Brittonic.<ref name= Higham168/> The continued viability of British Latin may have been negatively affected by the loss to Old English of the areas where it had been strongest: the Anglu-Saxon conquest of the lowland zone may have indirectly ensured that Vulgar Latin would not survive in the highland zone either.<ref>{{cite book |title=Wales and the Britons, 350-1064 |last=Charles-Edwards |first=T. M. |year=2012 |isbn=0198217315 |page=89}}</ref> This assimilation to Brittonic appears to have been the exact opposite to the situation in France, where the collapse of towns and migration of large numbers of Latin-speakers into the countryside apparently caused the final extinction of Gaulish.{{citation needed|date=February 2014}}-->
