| | Latin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Latin is also still used (drawing heavily on Greek roots) to furnish the names used in the scientific classification of living things. | | | However, there is a growing movement, sometimes known as the Living Latin movement, whose supporters believe that Latin can, or should, be taught in the same way that modern "living" languages are taught, that is, as a means of both spoken and written communication. | | | The Church used Latin as its primary liturgical language until the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s. |

| | Latin also became the liturgical language of the Western Church and until recent times remained the means of exchange and communication within the Church. | | | Latin became the language of the Western Church, focused on Rome, beginning well before the emergence of Christianity as the dominant religion in the Roman world. | | | Along with the Greek Fathers of the Church, the Latin fathers contributed to the definition of Christian doctrine. |

| | Latin |
| | Latin is the Church’s inheritance from the Roman Empire, which God deigned to set over practically the whole of Europe, North Africa and Asia so as to prepare the way for the Kingdom of Christ, the Catholic Church, the "New Rome". | | | You will be able to read the Vulgate Bible, the papal encyclicals and other ecclesiastical documents, and the writings of the Saints in their most authoritative forms. | | | Most importantly, you will be able to more intelligently assist at all the rites and ceremonies of the Church, the Divine Office and particularly the Holy Sacrifice itself. |

| | Nouns end in o, a, or e; adjectives (including adjectives proper, present participles, pronominal adjectives and possessives), as to their positive form, in i; the indicative present, infinitive and imperative of verbs in a; the past indicative and past participle in e; derivative adverbs, of positive form, in u. | | | One might try to use some other inflectional-type infinitive marker, but inasmuch as most verbs are formed from the supine stem, where most simple Latin infinitives are formed from the present stem, the results might seem rather bizarre to Latinists. | | | If one really wanted to emulate the Romans, one could do away with with the distinction between uppercase and lowercase letters, which are also a medieval invention unknown to many of the world's scripts. |

| | Why Study Latin? |
| | As the centuries passed, Latin continued to be the international language of all educated men and women, living a parallel existence with the different national languages, such as Spanish or French, which were growing beside it. | | | We travel with them to Rome along the Appian Way, then follow the members of the family as they visit the Circus Maximus and the Colosseum, give a party, attend school, witness a disastrous fire in an apartment house, get married, and finally attend a funeral. | | | The sole language of the Catholic Church was Latin; all scholarly, historical, or scientific work was written in Latin. |

| | Note that Latin in Ancient Rome didn't have a [ts] sound, like in Graecia, and c was always pronounced as [k] before all vowels; it's a later change done in Medieval Europe. | | | Verbal substantives were of great importance: there were 3 kinds of participles, 6 infinitives, 2 supines which were really necessary in the language, the gerund and the gerundive. | | | The Classical Latin language took birth in the 6th century BC and gradually disappeared in the 4th and 5th century AD, becoming Popular Latin. |

| | french language history in france -- from latin & provencal |
| | This “French” language was in fact one of a number of different languages descended from Latin that were spoken in various parts of post-Roman Gaul. | | | Descended from Latin, these languages may be said to represent living shadows of the ancient Roman empire, reflecting the divergent histories of regions formerly unified under Roman rule. | | | The source of modern French (and of the other Romance languages) was a spoken, popular version of the Latin tongue that was spread abroad by conquering Roman legions – namely, in the case of French, to so-called “Transalpine Gaul” by the armies of Julius Caesar during the century that preceded the birth of Christ. |

| | Why Speak Latin? |
| | While some would argue that Latin, unlike French, Spanish or German, is a 'dead' language, and that there is therefore no point in learning to speak it, NAILLS believes that the concept of 'living' and 'dead' languages is founded on a misconception of what languages are. | | | To turn the situation around, Latin students will need to obtain the same level of proficiency in their language as modern language students do in theirs. | | | NAILLS promotes the use of a 'living language' teaching method and supports teachers in gaining the knowledge and experience to apply it correctly. |
