		Moreover, in the Western world, Latin was a lingua franca, the learned language for scientific and political affairs, for more than a thousand years, being eventually replaced by French in the 18th century and English in the late 19th.
		Latin is a synthetic or inflectional language: affixes 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.

	Piotr Gąsiorowski’s Indo-European Page
		First, the name is completely arbitrary and refers to the modern distribution of the offspring of PIE, not to its own geographical location.
		Because of the natural conditions of Pannonia (the Hungarian Plain, with its steppe lands unsuitable for primitive farming, except in alluvial river valleys) and the rest of central Europe (dense forests that could not be easily cleared with the stone axes used at that time) the northern frontier was of limited interest to the newcomers.
		IE languages have much shared vocabulary consisting of items like ‘(flowing) water’, ‘river’, ‘stream’, etc., but no common word for ‘sea’; the best attested tree names are those of species growing in river valleys (aspen, alder, birch, willow) rather than in central European forests (oak, elm, beech, pine).

	L
		Linnaeus named taxa in ways that personally struck him as common-sensical; for example, human beings are Homo sapiens "wise man", but he also described a second human species, Homo troglodytes (or Homo nocturnus - "cave-dwelling man" or "nocturnal man"), by which he seems to have meant the only-recently described chimpanzee).
		The group "mammalia" are named for their mammary glands because one of the defining characteristics of mammals is that they nurse their young.
		The twelfth letter of the Latin alphabet, L is derived ultimately from the Semitic Lamed which stood for the phonetic value /l/ as did the Greek letter Lambda Λ (upper case) or λ (lower case), as well as the equivalent Etruscan and Latin letters.
