 The Latin Road Product Reviews
In Latin, by contrast, you can tell what is the subject and what is the object of a sentence not by their position in the sentence (they can be in just about any order imaginable), but, rather, by the structure of the words themselves-their endings.
In other words, not only is it easier to learn Latin grammar and syntax, because the language is so regular, but it is also easier to acquire a large Latin vocabulary than it is to acquire a similarly large vocabulary in just about any other language.
Verbal scores of Latin students on the SAT are, on average, anywhere from 25 to 30 points all the way up to over 60 to 80 points ahead of the verbal scores of students studying other foreign languages.

 A Comparative Latin Grammar by Cyril Babaev
Latin was a rather progressive tongue and changes occurred very fast throughout the historical period of its development, so Old Latin words and morphology units are of great importance to the studies of the language.
Latin was brought to Italy in the 2nd century BC by Roman colonists, and since then the language began to transform: it made aboriginal tongues disappear, but at the same time acquired a great number of features from them.
Grammars often demonstrate a language as it is, giving facts, giving charts and words but without any historical and comparative analysis of what the language is like from the point of view of Indo-European linguistics.

 Diagramming Latin Sentences
Latin will occasionally gap verbs when the meaning is clear from the context, but verbs cannot be gapped in English.
All Latin nouns have a gender (either masculine, feminine, or neuter) and have special endings indicating their number (singular or plural) and their case (revealing their function in the sentence).
In Latin, prepositions are indeclinable (they do not have endings); the object of a Latin preposition will be in either the ablative or the accusative case.

 Latin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Latin gained wide currency as the formal language of the Roman Republic and Roman Empire, and was also later adopted by medieval scholars, as well as the Catholic Church.
Latin is a synthetic, fusional 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".
Latin translations of modern literature such as Paddington Bear, Winnie the Pooh, Tintin, Asterix, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Le Petit Prince, Max und Moritz, and The Cat in the Hat are intended to bolster interest in the language.

 Latin by the Dowling Method
The problem about Latin is that you can study it for six years and still not be able to read a Latin sentence.
When you memorize Latin nouns -- and, as you'll see, adjectives, which have to "agree with" the nouns they modify -- what you really memorize is the cases through which each noun shows its grammatical function in a sentence.
You will have a very large Latin vocabulary and lots of practice with grammar, so for the rest of your life all you'll need to do is keep on reading to stay in practice.

 Amazon.com: Latin Grammar (Henele Latin): Books: Robert Henle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Henle's Grammar is generally ignored by most Latin teachers at both the secondary and university levels nowadays, primarily because Henle's _textbooks_, which this grammar is designed to accompany, are outdated and need to be re-edited before they can really be used again.
However, the grammar does seem to be a very inclusive one, and those who know or have studied grammar can gain a lot of information at a fast pace (provided they know what they are looking for).
I had Henle's text 'Latin Grammar' as a companion during my second year of Latin in college -- we'd used Wheelock's text for the first year, and the second year was a readings year, with Henle's text as a companion.

Latin is an inflected language: nouns and verbs change their endings according to their use in a sentence.
The study of Latin helps one to understand that words in a sentence have definite relationships, that there is meaning to utterances and that the meaning is shown through the words and their inflections.
The Latin is excellent, although the use of "ille" for "the" is a stretch in classical Latin.
