		Latin Pop became the most popular form of Latin music in the United States during the '80s and '90s, even achieving massive crossover success among non-Latino listeners during the late '90s.
		Latin pop's first major crossover star was Gloria Estefan, who scored a succession of non-club-oriented dance-pop hits during the mid- to late '80s, but who eventually became known more as an adult contemporary diva with an affinity for sweeping ballads.
		The origin of the name has been attributed to its being a derivation of the French word "marriage," but it may be a combination of the name "Maria" with the Nahuatl diminutive suffix "chi" (Nahuatl was an indigenous Indian language widely spoken in the area).

		Latin is also still used (drawing heavily on Greek roots) to furnish the names used in the scientific classification of living things.
		Latin itself, being a very old language, is far closer to Proto-Indo-European than are most modern Western European languages; it has, in fact, about the same relationship with PIE as modern Italian or French has to Latin.

		Huntington and his followers understood "The West" to be roughly synonymous with the Euro-Atlantic civilization, although countries with roots in other civilizations, such as Greece, Turkey, or Japan, may choose to ally themselves with the West as a result of having absorbed "Western" ideas and values into their societies.
		Depending on context, the Western countries may be restricted to Canada and the United States, the member countries of the European Union, Switzerland, Iceland and Norway.
		The Asian countries of Japan, South Korea, and the Republic of China (Taiwan) are sometimes considered part of the West and sometimes not.

	Latin alphabet at AllExperts
		It is generally held that the Latins adopted the western variant of the Greek alphabet in the 7th century BC from Cumae, a Greek colony in southern Italy.
		The Latin alphabet spread from Italy, along with the Latin language, to the lands surrounding the Mediterranean Sea with the expansion of the Roman Empire.
		In the late eighteenth century, the Romanians adopted the Latin alphabet; although Romanian is a Romance language, the Romanians were predominantly Orthodox Christians, and until the nineteenth century the Church used the Cyrillic alphabet.

		McPhee: one of the oldest personal names; the home of the clan was probably the island of Colonsay; in Gaelic, it is MacDhubhshith, meaning "fl one of peace"; a family in South Uist were known as "fl fairy" apparently for their knowledge of the fairies.
		Names can be uncommon in one place and common in another, or common at one time and uncommon at another.
		To cope with the confusion, the inhabitants invented nicknames ("to-names") or, in a written record, inserted the name of a wife or parent to distinguish one from another.

	Latin,eh - By Wlad Franco-Valias (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		As you may have noticed, names have gender in Latin and it is customary to match the species’ gender with the genus’ gender.
		If a species is named after a person or a place, the gender of the person or place name overrules the gender for the genus.
		Here is the "modern" pronunciation of Latin vowels, but to be sure of the "correct" pronunciation one must use the accented version of the Latin name, which is rarely ever found in books these days.

	European Regions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		For centuries, the other southern European as well as eastern and northern European regions have tended to be on the margins of European economic activity and have been assigned to the periphery or the semi-periphery of Europe's world economy (Wallerstein, 1974).
		European research and development capacities are concentrated in these regions as well as in the metropolitan service centres.
		This is hard to believe when we analyse the institutional and industrial legacies of the advanced European industrial regions and the various lock-in effects preventing new forms of organisational and interorganizational learning, new patterns of cooperation and conflict resolution, as well as new forms of training and employment mobility (Heidenreich, 1997).

	Names for Large Numbers
		The English names for large numbers are coined from the Latin names for small numbers n by adding the ending -illion suggested by the name "million." Thus billion and trillion are coined from the Latin prefixes bi- (n = 2) and tri- (n = 3), respectively.
		In science, the names of large numbers are usually avoided completely by using the appropriate SI prefixes.
		Americans are not likely to adopt the European nomenclature, and Europeans will always regard the American system as an imposition.

	Coverage of European languages by ISO Latin alphabets
		Although names containing that letter occur relatively often in texts otherwise in Finnish, this is in principle not different from other occurrences of foreign names (and loan words, like fiancé) in their original spelling.
		According to this interpretation, strictly speaking no ISO Latin alphabet except the new ISO 8859-16 is suitable for Romanian, but according to ISO 8859-2, Latin alphabet No. 2 can be used "subject to the agreement of originator and receiver in information exchange".
		Latin alphabets No. 4 and 6 cover the requirements of most Sámi orthographies, but for Skolt Sámi no ISO Latin alphabet is sufficient.

	Science Fair Projects - Latin names of European cities
		Until the Modern Era, Latin was the common language for scholarship and mapmaking.
		One caveat that must be observed, however, is that even Latin place names are not always exclusive to one place — for example, there were several Roman cities whose names began with Colonia and then a more descriptive term.
		To use it, one must understand German names of countries, as they were in 1909.

	ICANN \| Proposed Action Plan on .info Country Names \| 9 October 2001
		In June 2000, 19 countries and distinct economies, which participate in the GAC and are WIPO Member States, requested WIPO to develop, through a consultative process, recommendations on the use of geographical indications, geographical terms, or indications of source in domain names.
		While realizing that the topic of geographical and geopolitical concepts in the domain name system is part of the ongoing WIPO-2 Report discussions, GAC participants became concerned over the more immediate situation of the registration of many country names during the.info "sunrise period." The topic was discussed at the GAC's September 2001 meeting in Montevideo.
		(The name of the "European Union" was also added in light of the Board resolution 00.74.) A series of rules was employed to translate this list of names to a form consistent with the "host names" format used in domain names.

At that time the only means of correspondence between scientific persons from different countries was in Latin, which became so much the fashion that many people Latinized their names.
		Van Buren is a very common name in Holland, but there was a family van Buren, now extinct, who were of such high and ancient blood that the late Queen Sophia, when traveling incognito, did so under the name of Countess van Buren.

		Latin America’s close proximity and access to end markets is a distinct advantage, in particular being in the same time zone as the U.S.A. Given that almost 500 million people of the world’s markets speak Spanish (approximately 8 percent of the world’s population), Latin American countries can easily become a greater provider of shared services."

	Auk, The: A Thesaurus of Bird Names: Etymology of European Lexis Through Paradigms
		Names for birds have been sought in Indo-European languages including "Iranian, Caucasian, and Hamito-Semitic languages" because "the area covered by these languages includes the Palaearctic region, a zoogeographical entity within which can be found most of the European bird species." Names in Finnish, Estonian, and Hungarian are omitted because they are not Indo-European languages.
		Names from languages written with different alphabet characters, such as Cyrillic, Hebrew, and Greek, are transliterated with Roman characters.
		Here, names or the words used in names, along with various cognates (or perhaps pseudocognates), are arranged according to qualities, somewhat in the manner of the familiar Roget's Thesaurus of English words.

		Thus, the toponym of Hellespont was explained by Greek poets as being named after Helle, daughter of Athamas, who drowned here as she crossed it with her brother Phrixus on a flying golden ram.
		The name, however, most likely is derived from an older language, such as Pelasgian, which was unknown to those who explained its origin.
		Toponymists are sometimes used by governments in order to verify the accuracy of certain names as used by cartographers, the media, researchers, publishers, and their duties also include the inputting of new names into databases and topographical maps.
