| | 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. |

| | Latin terminoloy is used extensively by biologists, palaeontologists and other scientists to name species and specimens, and also by doctors and lawyers. | | | Modern Latin was used by the Roman Catholic Church until the mid 20th century and is still used to some extent, particularly in the Vatican City, where it is one of the official languages. | | | The earliest known inscriptions in Latin date from the 6th century BC and were written in various versions of the Greek alphabet, which was brought to to Italy by Greek colonists. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem |
| | This explains why with the well-organized Moslem states arrayed against it, the Kingdom of Jerusalem could only dispute the ground foot by foot for two centuries. | | | After the First Crusade a very powerful Latin Church was established in Palestine; numerous monasteries were founded and received large donations of landed property in Palestine as well as in Europe. | | | In order to repopulate the country, Baldwin I held out inducements to the Christian communities dwelling beyond the Jordan; in 1182 the Maronites of the Lebanon abjured their Monothelite heresy. |

| | Medieval Sourcebook: Rimbert: Life of Anskar, Apostle of the Nth |
| | Thus it came about that some of the people, moved by a common impulse, made a sudden attack upon the house in which he was staying, with the object of destroying it ; and in their hatred of the Christian name they killed Nithard,** and made him, in our opinion, a true martyr. | | | Written in 1065 in barbarous Latin verse, It contains hardly any information which is not found in Rimbert's Life. | | | All that we possess of it are the notes which Adam of Bremen has embodied in his Chronicle." |

| | 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 minimizes the number of suffixes that must be remembered. | | | 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). |

| | Why Speak Latin? |
| | While some would argue that Latin, unlike French, Spanish or German, is a 'dead' language, and that there is therefore no point in learning to speak it, NAILLS believes that the concept of 'living' and 'dead' languages is founded on a misconception of what languages are. | | | In the past several centuries, millions of people have learned Latin and used it effectively to write and speak with one another, in spite of the fact that none has been able to claim it as his native tongue. | | | Hence, the question whether Latin is dead or living is simply a question of how people treat it. |

| | Why Study Latin? |
| | The sole language of the Catholic Church was Latin; all scholarly, historical, or scientific work was written in Latin. | | | As the centuries passed, Latin continued to be the international language of all educated men and women, living a parallel existence with the different national languages, such as Spanish or French, which were growing beside it. | | | Science: the great scientist Isaac Newton would not have considered publishing his Principia Mathematica in anything but Latin, certainly not in English, which was at that time (1687) an obscure and little-known language with about 4.5 million native speakers in the entire world, only a small fraction of whom were literate. |

| | 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. |

| | Latin Language |
| | The influence of Greek civilization on Rome began early (with the commerce between the people of Latium and the Greek cities of South Italy), and reached its fullest development after the conquest of Greece by Rome, which was completed in 146 BC. | | | Having been taken as a prisoner in war, he became a teacher at Rome, and there produced Latin adaptations of Greek plays (240 BC). | | | 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). |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Latin Church |
| | The Latin Church is simply that vast portion of the Catholic body which obeys the Latin patriarch, which submits to the pope, not only in papal, but also in patriarchal matters. | | | It follows also that the expression Latin (or even Roman) Catholic is quite justifiable, inasmuch as we express by it that we are not only Catholics but also members of the Latin or Roman patriarchate. | | | The medieval Western uses (Paris, Sarum and so on), of which people at one time made much for controversial purposes, were in no sense really independent rites, as are the remnants of the Gallican use at Milan and Toledo. |
