The female founders and Latin

Hello, my name is Tessy and I am new on this list. I
scanned a few messages and the various FAQs on the
web site, but I couldn't find the answer to my question.

I have spent the last few days thinking about the four
founders, particularly about the two women Rowena and
Helga. My first question is: Is there anything
stated, when Hogwarts was founded? I assumed that it was
somewhere around 100 AD or something. But going by
this date, I wonder how it was possible for Helga and
Rowena to learn Latin, since this is the language
needed for the various spells. I assume that the
magical community was mixed with the non-magicals in
that time, since magic was associated with the gods
in pre-Christanity ages. Women had a high status in the
celtic culture and most of the religious figures were
females. But assuming this would lead to the fact
that the celts detested the christians (save for the
friars because there the two religions mixed) and would not
want to learn their languages. So how did Helga and
Rowena learn Latin?

Regards, Tessy
