Just learned today. Lingua franca is a language used by people with different mother tongue. For instance, English is the Lingua franca.
Apparently, the original lingua franca came up around Renaissance era. It was a mixture of Italian (80%), French, Greek, Spanish, Turkish, Portuguese and Arabic.
Wow.. people in the old times are really polyglots.
