-[classical language] belonging to the ‘italic’ branch of the [indo-european languages]-
.
(“language of the romans”)
(the “latin alphabet” is derived from the ‘etruscan’ + ‘greek’ alphabets)
(“latin” was originally spoken in ‘latium’ a place on the ‘italian peninsula’)
(through the power of the ‘roman republic’, it became the ‘dominant language’, initially in ‘italy’ and subsequently throughout the ‘roman empire’)
(‘vulgar latin’ developed into the ‘romance languages’)
(such as ‘italian’, ‘portuguese’ / ‘spanish’ / ‘french’ / ‘romanian’)
“OK louis c! see what i mean???
“this is ‘just plain silly’…”
“soft like potty / putty”
(‘latin’, italian’, and ‘french’ have contributed many words to the ‘english language’)
(“which we are all speaking now, i presume?”)
“it’s all greek to me!”
(from here on out…)
(‘latin’ + ‘ancient greek’ roots are used in [‘theology’ / ‘biology’ / ‘medicine’])
.
(by the ‘late’ (? how late?) ‘roman republic’ (’75 BC’), ‘old latin’ had been standardized into ‘classical latin’)
…”but i digress…”
…’fraid so!…
…tell next time! i let you know…
don’t you think it’s time?
to go and play a show?)
(‘vulgar latin’ was the ‘colloquial form’ spoken during the same time and attested in ‘inscriptions’ and the works of ‘comic playwrights’ (like ‘plautus’ and ‘terence’))
(‘late latin’ is the written language from the ‘3rd century’)
((aka ‘the 400s’)
(the ‘century’ that marked the ‘fall of rome’)
(‘476’?)
(‘medieval latin’)
(language from the ‘9th century’ on)
(‘renaissance latin’)
(language of the ‘italian’ (and european?) renaissance)
(‘rebirth’)
(‘just like christ’)
.
(later (?), ‘early modern latin’ and ‘modern latin’ evolved)
.
“a ‘half-baked story’ (‘theory’?) we’ll ‘save for later’…”
(“stories for another day)
(HOBEIKA!)
(O BOY!)
(WOW!)
(WHIP’EM OUT!)
(“we showed them alright!”)
(“you sure did!”)
.
(‘latin’ was used as the ‘language’ of ‘international communication’, ‘scholarship’, and ‘science’ until well into the ’18th century’, when it began to be supplanted by ‘vernaculars’)
.
(“ecclesiastical latin” remains the ‘official language of the ‘holy see” and the ‘roman rite’ of the ‘catholic church’)
(today, many ‘students’, ;scholars’, and members of the ‘catholic clergy’ speak ‘latin’ fluently)
(it is taught in ‘primary’, ‘secondary’, and ‘post-secondary’ educational institutions around the world)
.
(“latin” is a ‘highly inflected’ language with –>)
