	Latin
		Latin was first brought to the Italian peninsula in the 9th or 8th century BC by migrants from the north, who settled in the Latium region, specifically around the River Tiber, where the Roman civilization first developed.
		Latin was influenced by the Celtic dialects and the non-Indo-European Etruscan language of northern Italy, as well as by the Greek of southern Italy.
		Latin is a synthetic inflectional language: affixes (often suffixes, which usually encode more than one grammatical category) are attached to fixed stems to express gender, number, and case in adjectives, nouns, and pronouns -- a process called 'declension'.

		The date of this suspension of coinage by the Latin Union is regarded by all authorities as of great import in regard to the value of silver.
		The suspension of the free coinage of five-franc silver pieces by the Latin Union was a consequence of the falling value of silver.
		And all the subsequent movements of the Latin Union have been prompted not so much by the wish to show a preference for a silver medium as by a desire to protect themselves against the loss arising from the possibility of selling the silver with which they have already burdened themselves.

	Finance & Development, June 1999 - The Euro and Latin America
		As far as the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean are concerned, the euro will probably affect their trade with Europe only slightly, but it will have a somewhat greater impact on their financial markets and debt-management policies over the short and medium terms.
		Latin America and the Caribbean could also benefit if companies in the euro area feel squeezed competitively and seek new locations for their expanding operations, either through mergers and takeovers or through new investments.
		The launch of the euro will affect Latin America and the Caribbean in a number of small ways, but it is unlikely to precipitate a major change in the near term, given that many economies in the area are highly dollarized.

	American Civil Liberties Union : The Mt. Soledad Latin Cross
		Erecting a Latin cross on the lawn of a Catholic or Lutheran Church is constitutional.
		While the Latin cross has been the dominant form of the cross in Europe for hundreds of years (as well as in the former colonies of European powers), it is not a universal symbol of Christianity, even in the West.
		Between 1952 and 1954, a 43-foot high Latin cross made of steel-reinforced concrete (in an early-1950s "modern" style) was erected on the summit of Mt. Soledad, giving the cross easy visibility for several miles throughout the area known as La Jolla, including the Interstate highway that passes nearby.

	The IDB promotes dialogue and cooperation between the European Union and Latin America and the Caribbean
		The broadening of Latin America and the Caribbean’s international relations is being driven in part by the autonomous and centrifugal forces of globalization.
		The regionalism that Latin America and the Caribbean is practicing with Europe is part of a broader regional approach which includes political commitments to deep subregional integration among like-minded neighbors and an array of free trade areas.
		The interregionalism with Latin America is also important for the EU as an expression of its global positioning in an increasingly competitive world economy where the scope of market participation is a strategic dimension of broader world leadership in multilateral rules, politics and cultural development.

	Insead Alumni Association Monaco Euro currency monetary union ricketts
		The Union was officially established in 1865 (indeed, since many other countries had gold coins of similar value, there was almost a de facto currency union, based on gold, which included Germany and the United Kingdom).
		In the Latin Monetary Union, member countries could mint unlimited quantities of certain gold and silver Union coins, all of which were legal tender across the Union.
		Two factors are responsible for the Union's durability prior to political unification : Prussia had the size, power and will to enforce compliance with the agreement on the smaller states, and the enactment of consistent metallic standards depoliticized the currency by removing the princes' ability to debase their coinage.

		Rice's dinner meeting with the four Latin American envoys – whose countries included some of the Bush administration's closest allies in the region – came a day after 11 foreign ministers and vice ministers from Latin America met in Cartagena, Colombia, to devise a joint strategy against the U.S. anti-immigration proposal.
		Indeed, Latin American officials say the proposed U.S. law would violate the human rights of millions of their countrymen – both legal and illegal residents – by turning virtually all Hispanics into suspected criminals and by driving new waves of migrants to seek more dangerous crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border.

		While they do not disregard the benefits of pure liberalism, their view tends to temper some of its historically proven negative effects with a sense of solidarity, and with the necessity of protecting the basic social and economic rights of the individual against the excessive power of the large economic holdings.
		Furthermore, it also appears that generally the foreign policies of Latin countries are far less influenced and controlled than others by the interests of the major private financial and economic groups.
		Although Latin countries can have very divergent political systems and are sometimes divided by harsh political quarrels, for many reasons, including the above factors, all their differences are like family disagreements during which their people never lose their sense of belonging to a coherent unit.
