Why Latin?
– Latin is the official language of Vatican City.
– The Latin language is becoming an increasingly popular subject because of its age and impact it has on modern languages and their evolution. Latin is still taught in schools and it is often regarded as a language which any striving linguist should have an understanding of.
– Latin was also the primary language spoken by the Roman Empire, which adds to its historical value and intrigue. If you examine the Latin alphabet it is rooted in the Greek alphabet which dates even further back.
– With the spread of the Roman Empire, Latin found its way all over Europe and with time evolved into languages we know today, most notably French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. It has played a crucial role in the way people communicate all over the world.
Key considerations:
– Latin does not use the usual Subject-Verb-Object sentence structure, which is why Latin translation into and from this language requires previous extensive study.
– Latin grammar is also fundamentally different from English, one example being the lack of “a” and “the” articles and the existence of 6 cases for nouns.
– Words in this language change their meaning depending on the context. The little information we have available nowadays makes it difficult to always know the right one.
– Thus, accurate Latin translation frequently even requires knowledge of Roman history in order to associate words with contexts.
