Topic: The Latin Library


  
  Latin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Latin is also still used (drawing heavily on Greek roots) to furnish the names used in the scientific classification of living things.
Latin is a synthetic inflectional language: affixes (which most times 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 was once taught in most of the schools in Britain with academic leanings - perhaps 25% of the total [1].
