 Lingua::Romana::Perligata -- Perl for the XXIimum Century
A plausible rationale for wanting to do such a thing is provided, along with a comprehensive overview of the syntax and semantics of Latinized Perl.
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.
Note that, as in Latin, the suffix of the unemphatic conjunction is always appended to the first word after the point at which the conjunction would appear in English.

 Amazon.com: Wheelock's Latin, 6e: Books: Frederic M. Wheelock,Richard A. LaFleur
I've used Wheelock's Latin from both sides: as a disaffected student, eager to learn a language that I didn't have to -speak-, and as an instructor, in several of Indiana University's entry-level courses.
But there are no other Latin introductory texts that strike Wheelock's perfect balance between the classical pedagogy of the 19th century and the more recent attempts to mass-market Latin to "complete idiots" and "dummies".
Though I consider myself an intelligent person, I'm by no means genetically predisposed to learning languages.

 Vulgar Latin - definition of Vulgar Latin in Encyclopedia
As a result of the untenability of the noun case system after these phonetic changes, vulgar Latin moved from being a synthetic language to an analytic language where word order is a necessary element of syntax.
In Latin, names of trees were usually feminine gender, but many were declined in the masculine or neuter second declension paradigm.
Vulgar Latin (in Latin, sermo vulgaris) is a blanket term covering the vernacular dialects of the Latin language spoken mostly in the western provinces of the Roman Empire until those dialects, diverging still further, evolved into the early Romance languages &mdash; a distinction usually assigned to about the ninth century.

 CET 326
The minimal requirement for receiving a passing grade (meaning a "D") for the project is to be able to handle the basic pig latin rules (rules 1 and 2).
In these cases, "y" should be treated as a vowel, and the corresponding Pig Latin words will be "ythmrhay" and "ytray," respectively.
If the first vowel is NOT the first letter of the word, then the Pig Latin word is made by moving all consonants that precede the vowel to the end of the word and then adding "ay."

 Why Study Latin?
In these classes the basics of Latin vocabulary and grammar are taught.
In the advanced class, students complete their studies of Latin grammar, increase the number of Latin vocabulary words which they know, and further develop their skills in reading Latin texts written by Romans (and others) for whom Latin was a native language.
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.

 Why Speak Latin?
In universities today, Latin studies are competing with other disciplines for students, funding and public respect, and have consistently been losing ground to languages perceived as more 'relevant' to the needs of a society driven by the spoken word.
To turn the situation around, Latin students will need to obtain the same level of proficiency in their language as modern language students do in theirs.
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.

 Detailed descriptions of the characters [The ISO Latin 1 character repertoire]
Specifically, in ISO Latin 1 there is a separate multiplication sign, and in some contexts the middle dot (·) is an adequate multiplication symbol.
Notice in ISO Latin 1 the combination of plus and minus is available as a separate character, plus-minus sign(±).
