Latin
The influence of Rome as a country made Latin the common language of South and Western Europe. In these areas Romance languages (Italian, French, Spanish, Romanian and Portuguese) were later derived from Latin. To understand the English language thoroughly it is necessary to have a knowledge of Latin. This is caused by the fact that Anglo-Saxon language (Old English), had borrowed many words from Latin, either directly or through French. This Germanic language group, spoken in Britain, south of the Forth (except Wales and Cornwall), has been making these borrowings both before and after the Norman Conquest (AD 1066). As a result, modern English and Latin are quite closely connected.

Here is an Animoto presentation created by Zee Ann Poerio, Chair, Committee for Latin in Elementary Schools, after this year's ACL Institute--it is so lovely! Here is another Animoto presentation created by Zee Ann focusing on the wonderful GigiPan image which she created with NCLG funding. The NCLG is a non-Profit organization sponsored and funded by numerous state and national associations. It serves as a forum to identify nationwide needs and as a force for planning and implementing new strategies and programs. Its Classics Alert Network responds to both crises and opportunities in the Classics community. The NCLG also maintains a dialogue with its European counterparts.
