People talked as they do now in their vernacular languages. They also got education to read and write in their own languages, and though there is not much in the way of historic record that comments on this, it can easily be shown by the amount of vernacular literature that was left behind. Beowulf, Le Jue de Robin et Marion, the Niebelungenlied, the Divine Comedy, and the Canterbury Tales are all medieval literature in languages other than Latin.

Educated people all over Europe could read, write and speak Latin, and so people from different parts of Europe could talk to or write each other.

There were organizations that carried mail about Europe. Many of these were monastic, but there may have been others. It is hard to imagine that the Hanseatic League did not.

There were methods of communicating over short distances, such as by mirrors, that were used by the military.

Watchtowers were used with primitive semaphores.

Carrier pigeons were used throughout the medieval times.
