| | Evertype: The Alphabets of Europe |
 | | The classification used in The Alphabets of Europe is based on, but is not identical with, the classification found in Merritt Ruhlen’s A guide to the world’s languages. | | | In The Alphabets of Europe, all languages are considered equal insofar as their alphabets and the field of Information Technology are concerned. | | | The intent of The Alphabets of Europe is to be neutral with respect to language; its task is to document alphabets, not to rank languages in any particular way. |

| | Lingua franca - Psychology Central |
| | The origin of the term lingua franca is Latin (literally "Frankish/French language") of the modern era, when French became the language predominantly spoken for diplomacy and commerce between the European nations, and as they expanded their influence, in the whole world until the half of the 20th century. | | | French was the language of diplomacy in Europe from the 17th century until its recent replacement by English, and as a result is still the working language of international institutions and is seen on documents ranging from passports to airmail letters. | | | Polish was once a lingua franca in various regions of Central and Eastern Europe, mostly due to the political, cultural, scientific and military influence of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. |

| | English language - Psychology Central |
| | English as a lingua franca for Europe is a new variant of the English language created to become the common language in Europe, spoken in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. | | | An English speaker is often able to choose between Germanic and Latinate synonyms: "come" or "arrive"; "sight" or "vision"; "freedom" or "liberty" — and sometimes also between a word inherited through French and a borrowing direct from Latin of the same root word: "oversee", "survey" or "supervise". | | | English is considered a pluricentric language, with no variety being clearly considered the only standard. |

| | 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. | | | The Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem was founded as a result of the First Crusade, in 1099. | | | Nevertheless, despite its imperfect organization, the economic prosperity of the Latin kingdom attained an extraordinary height of development in the twelfth century. |

| | From the Greeks the alphabet passed on to the Etruscans of Italy; to the Copts of Egypt (where it replaced their old Egyptian hieroglyphic writing); and to the Slavonic peoples of Eastern Europe. | | | Like the earlier Greek, the Latin writing consisted of 24 signs; but the similarity in number was coincidental, for Latin underwent a different set of changes and replacements. | | | The Greek digamma sign of w became f in Latin, and the Greek eta became h. |

| | Europe’s exports to Latin America grew by 164 percent in the past decade, while Latin exports to EU countries rose by 29 percent. | | | He knew it was Europe which stood on the threshold of achieving its long-term goal of economic and religious domination of Latin America. | | | In the European Commission’s 1999 report, “European Union and Latin America Advancing Together,” it is noted that the driving force in escalated Euro-Latin trade was the mapping of a comprehensive document generated in 1994 “under the impetus of the German presidency.” As the Trumpet has previously reported, so often where Germany leads, Europe follows. |

| | Hiberno-Latin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It has been suggested that the curiously learned vocabulary of the poems was caused by the monks learning Latin words from dictionaries and glossaries, so as to mix together unfamiliar words with ordinary ones; unlike many others in Western Europe at the time, the Irish monks did not speak a language descended from Latin. | | | During the sixth and seventh centuries, Irish monasticism spread through Christian Western Europe; expatriate Irish monks who founded these monasteries often brought Hiberno-Latin literary styles with them. | | | While neither Hebrew nor Greek were widely known in Europe during this period — and it is unlikely the Irish monks were fluent themselves — odd words from these sources, as well as from Celtic sources were added to Latin vocabulary for effect by these authors. |

| | Among those are Europes historic ties with Latin American countries, a feeling that the former owes the latter for centuries of natural and human resource exploitation, and a certain cultural and affective closeness. | | | Relations between European and Latin American movements are the subject of at least eight ESF activities, but a stronger articulation should take place at the parallel meeting to the EU-Latin America Summit, in May 2004 in Guadalajara, Mexico. | | | That is a supposition, since several representatives from Latin American and European organisations point that the European Union (EU) has been willing to adopt US criteria in multilateral policies and agreements. |

| | Transliteration |
| | Because for many centuries even after the end of Latin antiquity (that is to say, during the Dark Ages of western Europe) no one anywhere in western Europe knew any Greek (that was part of what made the Dark Ages dark), the only forms of Greek names known to western Europeans were Latin. | | | And indeed until the end of the nineteenth century, it remained customary for anyone writing an ancient Greek name anywhere within the sphere of European culture (including all of North America) to cite it according to the Latin system of transliteration from Greek, as just described. | | | So one and the same modern writer may in one sentence refer, for example, to the ancient Greek poet Alcman (Latinate transliteration!), and in the very next sentence mention Karystos (Anglicistic transliteration!) whom Alcman (Alkman) alluded to in a fragment of his early Greek poetry. |
