Latin Encyclopedia Article, Information, History and Biography @ LocalColorArt.com Latin was influenced by the Celtic dialects and the non-Indo-European Etruscan language in northern Italy, and by Greek in southern Italy. Latin is a synthetic inflectional language: affixes (which usually encode more than one grammatical category) 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. Latin is a member of the family of Italic languages, and its alphabet, the Latin alphabet, is based on the Old Italic alphabet, which is in turn derived from the Greek alphabet. www.localcolorart.com /encyclopedia/Latin   (2300 words)

Latin language, alphabet and pronunciation Latin was the language of the area known as Latium (modern Lazio), and Rome was one of the towns of Latium. Latin was used throughout the empire as the language of law, administration and increasingly as the language of everyday life. The earliest known inscriptions in Latin date from the 6th century BC and were written in various versions of the Greek alphabet, which was brought to to Italy by Greek colonists. www.omniglot.com /writing/latin2.htm   (759 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Church Latin Until recently, Latin had retained its place in the Liturgy, as it was seen to point out and watch over, in the very bosom of the Church, that unity of belief in all places and throughout all times which is her birthright. Hardly had it been formed when church Latin had to undergo the shock of the invasion of the barbarians and the fall of the Empire of the West; it was a shock that gave the death-blow to literary Latin as well as to the Latin of everyday speech on which church Latin was waxing strong. In the present instance these words are taken to mean the Latin we find in the official textbooks of the Church (the Bible and the Liturgy), as well as in the works of those Christian writers of the West who have undertaken to expound or defend Christian beliefs. www.newadvent.org /cathen/09019a.htm   (3185 words)

MP3.com - the source for digital music! Latin America is also known for such dance music as salsas and sambas, which have layers of percussion, blaring horns and an infectious sense of style.

Latin Online Latin is probably the easiest of the older languages for speakers of English to learn, both because of their earlier relationship and because of the long use of Latin as the language of educational, ecclesiastical, legal and political affairs in western culture. It might be noted, however, that when Latin was spoken in everyday use, it was pronounced in accordance with the pronunciation of the native language in the country, so that the pronunciation in Italy differed considerably from that in France or Germany, not to speak of England. Latin i and e are pronounced as in English cliché; Latin a is pronounced as in father; Latin o is pronounced as in so, and u as in sue. www.utexas.edu /cola/depts/lrc/eieol/latol-0-X.html   (2162 words)

Why Study Latin? As the centuries passed, Latin continued to be the international language of all educated men and women, living a parallel existence with the different national languages, such as Spanish or French, which were growing beside it. Since Latin is rarely used as a spoken language today, the emphasis in class is on reading and writing, although some Latin is spoken in drills, classroom directions, and songs. The Romans' language, Latin, came to be used everywhere, largely displacing the native languages of France, Spain, the Balkans, North Africa, and parts of western Asia. www.csus.edu /indiv/r/rileymt/course1/WhyStudy.html   (1088 words)

Lingua::Romana::Perligata -- Perl for the XXIimum Century Proper Latinate comparisons would be odious in Perligata, because they require their first argument to be expressed in the nominative and would themselves have to be indicative. Note that, as in Latin, the suffix of the unemphatic conjunction is always appended to the first word after the point at which the conjunction would appear in English. This is particularly felicitous: not only is loco the Latin term from which the word ``local'' derives, it also means ``in place of'' (as in: in loco parentis). www.csse.monash.edu.au /~damian/papers/HTML/Perligata.html   (4517 words)

Why Speak Latin? In universities today, Latin studies are competing with other disciplines for students, funding and public respect, and have consistently been losing ground to languages perceived as more 'relevant' to the needs of a society driven by the spoken word. While some would argue that Latin, unlike French, Spanish or German, is a 'dead' language, and that there is therefore no point in learning to speak it, NAILLS believes that the concept of 'living' and 'dead' languages is founded on a misconception of what languages are. In the past several centuries, millions of people have learned Latin and used it effectively to write and speak with one another, in spite of the fact that none has been able to claim it as his native tongue. www.latin.org /english/naills/why-speak.html   (261 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem The Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem was founded as a result of the First Crusade, in 1099. After the First Crusade a very powerful Latin Church was established in Palestine; numerous monasteries were founded and received large donations of landed property in Palestine as well as in Europe. Nevertheless, despite its imperfect organization, the economic prosperity of the Latin kingdom attained an extraordinary height of development in the twelfth century. www.newadvent.org /cathen/08361a.htm   (3021 words)

Amazon.com: Wheelock's Latin, 6e: Books: Frederic M. Wheelock,Richard A. LaFleur But there are no other Latin introductory texts that strike Wheelock's perfect balance between the classical pedagogy of the 19th century and the more recent attempts to mass-market Latin to "complete idiots" and "dummies". Latin grammar IS complicated, and unless you memorize charts and rules, you will not know Latin and you will mistranslate every time. I've used Wheelock's Latin from both sides: as a disaffected student, eager to learn a language that I didn't have to -speak-, and as an instructor, in several of Indiana University's entry-level courses. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0060956410?v=glance   (2267 words)
