Latin Language: Difference between revisions

 

An ancient language now long dead in the vernacular. Latin was the language of [[Ancient Rome]], the Catholic Church, government, trade, and [[John Cleese]]. It was the source language for the entire Romance Language family, its children being Romanian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Italian. It also put its influence into many other languages, even those outside of its immediate family. Most notably, English, which is a descendant of German, but got a dose of Latin thanks to the medieval conquest by the Normans, who brought with them the Latin-influenced French.
