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.
However, as many as half the words in English were derived from Latin, including many words of Greek origin first adopted by the Romans, not to mention the thousands of French, Spanish, and Italian words of Latin origin that have also enriched English.

 Latin Proverbs (Laura Gibbs)
There are 1000 proverbs contained in the files, arranged in sets of 20, unit by unit for Units 1-16.
One of my main goals in using these proverbs starting with the first units of Moreland and Fleischer was to keep students from becoming dependent on the macrons.
The point of the proverb often depends on correctly identifying the case of every single word in the proverb (sometimes, in fact, the verb is only implied, with the meaning highly dependent on the case endings: "asinus lyram," "claudus pilam", etc.).

Background: Latin literature is the body of writings in Latin, primarily produced during the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, when Latin was a spoken language.
When Rome fell, Latin remained the literary language of the Western medieval world until it was superseded by the Romance languages it had generated and by other modern languages.
Many Latin proverbs were integrated into the Romance languages.

 Gleaner's Links: Proverbs, Sayings, Maxims ||||
Many well known proverbs, sayings, and maxims from around the world are translations from ancient texts in ancient languages such as Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Latin, Pali, Sanskrit, and so forth.
The fact that a proverb is found, say, in a six hundred year old document in a certain language proves only that the proverb has been known in that language for about six hundred years.
The existence of a proverb in even the most ancient documents may only be proof that the proverb was known in that language and culture at that time, and not necessarily proof that the proverb has its origin in that ancient language and culture.
