  • Can these Italian reenators at a Mediaeval festival in Ceccano, Italy, understand Latin? Let's find out! In this video, I met several people ready to take the challenge! I did not coach these people prior to recording the video; their spontaneous responses to questions posed in Latin are genuine.
    How would you have done? Let me know in the comments!

    I find it fascinating how similar modern Italian is to medieval and ancient Latin. It seems that the other romance languages have diverged much more from their latin source (especially French but I guess this is because it has its origins in the langue d'oïl and not the langue d'oc). The germanic languages, especially English and German (my own language) have changed much more during the past centuries. Old English or Old High German are pretty much unintelligable to modern speakers, they are completely different languages.

    Wait, we in Italy don't speak Latin, we can understand a lot of it, but speaking Latin is different. The point is that for us Latin is like (but I don't want to be disrespectful with the Old King) an old clothes, a one that however old and worn out you'd never throw away for it's part of you, of your identity, of your intimate history as human being, we may say that Latin is part of our soul and we not even know it is.

    Your videos are oddly calming to my heart.
    I've learnt Latin for 3 years on school while barely keeping up with the homework.
    Still it gave me an advantage to intuitively understand a bit when people speak Spanish or Italian.
    But I've never really come across actual Latin ever since school.
    It's satisfying to listen the first Romance language that I've ever learnt.
    So nostalgic
    And it's nice to hear it instead of reading.
    (Even though this accent already sounded a lot more like Italian than your usual Latin)
    Thanks for these nostalgic feelings.
    I never expected it would unleash such feels

    Have you ever tried, out of sheer curiosity, to read and investigate a little bit about early medieval Italian? The Placiti Cassinesi, the Saint Clement and Sisinnius inscription, the Veronese Riddle... All before the year 1000 and considered as the first examples of Italian language. It's fashinating, to notice how they still remind the latin roots, but they start to march toward the full medieval italian and then, the modern italian.

    The Catholic Church made a huge mistake, taking out the Latin.
    I hear so many younger people commenting how much they like Latin. There are Catholics going, for the first time in their lives, to a Latin Mass, and are in awe.
    Interestingly, I am far from being a "traditionalist," but there are certain things that have been traditionally the same for centuries, for many good reasons. It takes one group in one generation to change that forever?

      They had to take down latin because they realized that people didn’t understand a word anymore, so it was kinda blasphemous to attend mass without truly comprehending the Lord’s word. It was a merely practical decision which has been followed by the use of local languages (right now known as dialects) in public administration too

      In the missal there was native language on the left page, and Latin on the right page.
      Every one I knew at the time had a pretty good understanding, and could go to any other country, while being able to follow the mass.

    This was a fun video. I am surprising myself with how much of the Latin I am able to comprehend. Same goes for the Italian. My first language is English, second is Spanish. I never studied Italian or Latin but I am able to figure most of it out. The subtitles in Latin actual help as I recognize the root word of the English or Spanish word and figure out the meaning. I have heard the Latin mass many times never thought I understood it. Maybe I learned more than I realized.

    The Lady in the beginning was a joy to hear! As a Romanian, I understood 50 percent of the Latin, since I'm fluent in Italian, Portuguese and Spanish plus we had compulsory Latin classes in high-school . But boy, what I joy to hear it properly spoken... How I wish we had teachers like you back then.
    I actually had a time in my teens when I was attempting to read books in Latin, really not the best way to learn since the text was far too difficult and without proper references to modem life.
    Secretly, I still have a lot of love for old languages...
