  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.
Latin is a synthetic inflectional language: affixes (which most times encode more than one grammatical category) are attached to fixed stems to express gender, number, and case in adjectives, nouns, and pronouns, which is called declension; and person, number, tense, voice, mood, and aspect in verbs, which is called conjugation.
Latin was once taught in most of the schools in Britain with academic leanings - perhaps 25% of the total [1].

 Vulgar Latin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vulgar Latin (in Latin, sermo vulgaris) is a blanket term covering the vernacular dialects of the Latin language spoken mostly in the western provinces of the Roman Empire until those dialects, diverging still further, evolved into the early Romance languages — a distinction usually assigned to about the ninth century.
Classical Latin was always a rather artificial literary language; the Latin brought by Roman soldiers to Gaul, Iberia or Dacia was not necessarily the Latin of Cicero.
Fourth, "vulgar Latin" is sometimes used to describe the grammatical innovations found in a number of late Latin texts, such as the fourth century Peregrinatio Aetheriae, a nun's account of a journey to Palestine and Mt. Sinai; or the works of St Gregory of Tours.

Latin is a member of the Italic subfamily of the Indo-European languages; among non-Italic Indo-European languages, it is related especially closely to Sanskrit and Greek and to the Germanic and Celtic subfamilies.
Latin was influenced by Celtic dialects in northern Italy, by the non-Indo-European Etruscan language in central Italy, and by Greek, which was spoken in southern Italy as early as the 8th century BC.
During the Late Latin period invading barbarian tribes brought into the language numerous foreign forms and idioms; this corrupted Latin was termed the lingua Romana and was distinguished from the lingua Latina, the classical tongue cultivated by the learned.

 Norberg, Late Empire
Latin possessed a string of verbs with the sense of "praying," obsecrare, orare, petere, precari, rogare, etc. Of these verbs orare was supplanted early by the others in everyday language and was not used except in certain fixed formulas which often had an archaic and solemn tone.
The late language of everyday tended to reinforce the sense of adverbs with the use of a preposition: in simul, in ante, ab ante, a foris, de foris, ab intus, de intus.
A characteristic trait of late Latin is the confusion of conjunctions.

 MSN Encarta - Search View - Latin Language
Early Latinian inscriptions survive from the 6th century bc; the oldest texts clearly in Roman Latin date mostly from the 3rd century bc.
Under the influence of the Greek language and its literature, which was first translated into Latin in the second half of the 3rd century bc, Latin gradually developed into a great literary tongue.
Proper names, however, when mentioned out of their Latin context, are still pronounced according to the principles governing the language of the particular country; thus, the pronunciation of the name Cicero would be in Germany Tsítsero, in Italy Chíchero, in Spain Thíthero, in France Sísero, in England Sísero.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.11.26
Instead of looking at the writers of the letters, as is usually done, he concentrates on the scribes to whom the letters were dictated, working out which linguistic features belonged to the scribes and which to the writers and concluding that the scribes possessed very differing degrees of competence.
This approach is a welcome reminder that the Latin of these letters is a more complicated affair than one sometimes thinks, but it is marred by a slightly confused conclusion.
The author also assumes that the Latin closing formula bene valere te opto is modeled on the Greek errôsthai se euchomai, although it is now thought that this Greek version is translated from the Latin rather than vice versa.

 A Sociophilological Study of Late Latin, Roger Wright   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Late Latin is the native language, both spoken and written, of the former Roman Empire in the Early Middle Ages, sometimes also regarded as being 'Early Romance'.
By the thirteenth century Late Latin had split conceptually, from being a single complex living language, into several different living Romance languages, as well as the 'dead' language we now call 'Medieval Latin'.
The book is presented in six sections, with four chapters in each: Late Latin, Medieval Latin and Romance; Texts and Language in Late Antiquity; The Ninth Century; Italy and Spain in the Tenth and Eleventh Centuries; Twelfth- and Thirteenth-Century Spain; Sociophilology and Historical Linguistics; followed by a Conclusion, a lengthy bibliography, and an index.

Abstract: The term 'Old Latin' (Vetus Latina) is conventionally applied to those forms of the Latin Bible that predate in origin the Vulgate of Jerome.
They are preserved in two forms: in citations in the early Christian writers, and in various manuscripts dating over some 1000 years, from late antiquity to the high Middle Ages.
The work concludes with a comparison of the Old Latin translation techniques and those employed by Jerome in his revision.
