Cross fingers ‘Santa’ will gift me the Latin class. I would not be here without you. Never considered that I could even take Latin independent from a classics department.

In the north, Rome had a very hard time spreading Latin because the Gauls and the Germanic tribes refused to learn it. You are wrong about everywhere learning Latin.

      Come americano che ama imparare le lingue, sono d'accordo con te. È la lingua antica più bella, soprattutto perché, a differenza dell'italiano, è una lingua moraica come il finlandese, l'ungherese, l'estone, il ceco e il giapponese, per esempio. Questo perché la natura fondamentale e la grammatica del latino si basano sulle vocali lunghe e corte, indipendentemente dalla pronuncia che usi. Preferisco usare la pronuncia classica, ma a volte uso la pronuncia ecclesiastica. Secondo me, gli idiomi colloquiali e la poesia suonano belli in entrambe le pronunce.

      @La Ville Nouvelle - Atelier d'architectes So it seems that to Italians "unitalian" pronunciation of good ol' Latin is a kind of cultural appropriation (cf. the latest craze coming from the allegdly politically correct Americans) or even theft or usurpation. It seems that the clerics of the past two rousand years failed to pass down the original Latin pronunciation, so today each country has their specific way to speak it. English speaking people pronounce Latin as if it were a variety of English (the upper register of the vocabulary is of Latin origin anyway). And German speaking people keep discussing how to properly or correctly resp. authentically pronounce the letter "c": like a hard Germanic "k" or rather like a softer "ts" (not the Italian "tsch", mind you). So, as an EXEMPLUM GRATIUM, the eternal question is whether CICERO is to be pronounced KIKERO or rather TSITSERO. See also KAESAR (hence KAISER) or CAESAR, et cetera, et cetera ad infinitum. Latin is ubiquitous, it seems. Quod erat demonstrandum. BTW: My favourite Latin phrase is MULIER TACEAT IN ECCLESIA! (am only joking, though)

      То, на чём они говорят - это целиком искусственная конструкция. Исключительно письменный (формальный) язык со средневековым итальянским произношением. В обычной жизни римляне даже в "золотые времена" Цицерона и Цезаря УЖЕ говорили не так, как писали и использовали упрощённую грамматику. Например, слово "consul" уже тогда произносили как "cosul", и даже сокращение было "cos.", а не "cons.". Много было звуков, которые не произносили, отпадали окончания, были сокращённые формы слов, дифтонги сливались в одну гласную. А потом вообще стали сокращаться и совсем исчезать падежи и склонения :)

    As a back of the stadium linguist, I found this - and all your videos about Latin spoken in the modern world - absolutely thrilling. The joy of speaking Latin as a modern language as expressed in your conversations is inspiring. Although my background is more with Germanic languages, I find that I can still understand what’s being said at least well enough to get the intention & general meaning & context. And seeing people speak with such fervor, with gesture & body language brings Latin into the 21st Century. Truly a joy to watch & learn.

      There's plenty of people who have a good level of intelligibility with a language without being able to speak it. It happens between cognate languages and it always happens with second generations who cannot speak the languages of their parents while they understand them. this always happens here in italy where our granparents speak their dialect but we have grown up talking in italian.
      I'm italian and I could understand many things that have been said in this video while I'm never exposed to the language and I've never studied it.
      Just think of the people who went to mass like if they were people who went to visit their granparents who talk in dialect, so they can understand them but cannot answer them except for a few sentences.
