WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF LIVE LATIN

Isn't Latin a dead language? There is nothing further from the truth. This is not simply a mistake; it is a rank falsehood that has long been believed. This idea of a "dead language" appeared in the late XVIIIth century when the French, wishing their own language to become the universal language, forged it so as to exclude Latin, which, up until then, had been the one universal language. However, Latin, as a language for use has never ceased living right up until our days. Here are some texts on the subject in differents languages: Pourquoi le latin aujourd'hui. Latin today.

The secretary's office at Howard University is... less than helpful. They print their diplomas in Latin, and won't give you a translation unless the graduate fills out a form. My boss and I don't need an authorized, sealed translated diploma; we just need something in English so Immigration doesn't get mad, and we need it ASAP. Help me out here, Latin-speaking MeFites? Thanks a million. Universitas Howardiana Washingtonii in Regione Columbiana sita omnibus ad quos hae litterae peruerint salutem.

A Dictionary of Modern Latin. Duo habui linguae Latinae magistros qui Latinitatis amorem mihi mouerunt: quorum priorem, Dominulam Conchitam Luque, cui "di formam dederunt", pulchram uultu, corpore formosam, uenustam ingenio, plus curae habui quam Latinitatem.

A Dictionary of Modern Latin

Tum undecimum annum agebam ego, ea circiter uicesimum quintum. Pro mea Dulcinea eam habebam, propter eius amorem, Domini Quixoti instar, hunc et illum falacem et dolosum de ea male dicentem uerberabam aliquando, saepe uapulabam ab ista minima atque inculta plebecula qui odio flagrabat et Latini et Latini magistrae et "Latini magistrae simioli", ut notabar. Conchitae tamem pulchrus risus, maximo puncto "decem" mihi assignato, omnia mea uulnera sanabat. Latinitas in tela totius terrae. Tunberg's Books. Recent Latin. Recent Latin is the form of Latin used from the late nineteenth century down to the present. Unlike all previous varieties of Latin, it is neither used as a living language nor as a textual vehicle for literature, philosophy, and science; instead, it is primarily used as a form of entertainment, practiced among a small group of Latin devotees.

Decline of New Latin The New Latin of the 17th to 19th centuries had become otiose by 1900, confined to a few very technical areas (e.g., botany) where it functioned as a code, capable of only very limited types of expression, and not as a fully functional language. In other fields (e.g. anatomy or law) where Latin had been widely used, it survived only in technical phrases and terminology. Emergence of Recent Latin The emergence of Recent Latin can be traced back at least to the late nineteenth century . It has also been used as a spoken language from the beginning in numerous summer conferences throughout Europe, and more recently in America. Notes. Retiarius.
