| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Church Latin |
| | It became necessary even for renowned theologians like Melchior Cano in the preface to his "Loci Theologici", to raise their voices against the demands of their readers as well as against the carelessness and obscurity of former theologians. | | | Within recent years, however, solemn Apostolic letters addressed to one or other nation have been in their own tongue, and various diplomatic documents have been drawn up in French or in Italian. | | | In the present instance these words are taken to mean the Latin we find in the official textbooks of the Church (the Bible and the Liturgy), as well as in the works of those Christian writers of the West who have undertaken to expound or defend Christian beliefs. |

| | Moreover, in the Western world, Latin was a lingua franca, the learned language for scientific and political affairs, for more than a thousand years, being eventually replaced by French in the 18th century and English in the late 19th. | | | It is said that 80 percent of scholarly English words are derived from Latin (in a large number of cases by way of French). | | | This page was last modified 02:05, 18 October 2005. |

| | Lingua::Romana::Perligata -- Perl for the XXIimum Century |
| | Proper Latinate comparisons would be odious in Perligata, because they require their first argument to be expressed in the nominative and would themselves have to be indicative. | | | This is particularly felicitous: not only is loco the Latin term from which the word ``local'' derives, it also means ``in place of'' (as in: in loco parentis). | | | This minimizes the number of suffixes that must be remembered. |

| | Latin Online |
| | Latin is probably the easiest of the older languages for speakers of English to learn, both because of their earlier relationship and because of the long use of Latin as the language of educational, ecclesiastical, legal and political affairs in western culture. | | | By far the greatest number of similar words are found in technical language, where English simply took over the Latin terms as industrial, political and technological affairs became more complex, especially in the last several centuries; ecclesiastical terms were taken over as England was christianized. | | | On the other hand, the sentence structure and number of forms require a great deal of attention, since the words of sentences are placed for their emphasis, rather than in accordance with a pattern like that of the English Subject-Verb-Object sentence. |

| | Classical Latin and Vulgar Latin Antimoon Forum |
| | ***One African Vulgar Latin inscription that has been found reads Ut facia lum mortu "May he be killed". | | | Had Vulgar Latin survived in North Africa or Britain it is likely that the Sardinian system would have been used in any Romance languages that developed there since professor Stephen Omeltchenko tells us that the Latin spoken in these regions was of the archaic Sardinian qualitative voice type. | | | The truth is that scholars do not entirely know. |

| | The Pronunciation of Ecclesiastical Latin and Classical Latin |
| | Latin has two ways to pronounce vowels: long and short, referring to the “length” of time spent in voicing the vowel, which changes the sound. | | | With the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, Latin “died” as a popular, spoken language. | | | But Latin was retained as the universal language of the Church, and, over time, ecclesiastical Latin developed some pronunciation differences that distinguish it from Classical Latin. |
