| | Many would-be international auxiliary languages have been heavily influenced by Latin, and the moderately successful Interlingua considers itself to be the modernized and simplified version of the language (le latino moderne international e simplificate). | | | Latin was influenced by the Celtic dialects and the non-Indo-European Etruscan language in northern Italy, and by Greek in southern Italy. | | | Latin is a synthetic inflectional language: affixes (which usually encode more than one grammatical category) are attached to fixed stems to express gender, number, and case in adjectives, nouns, and pronouns, which is called declension; and person, number, tense, voice, mood, and aspect in verbs, which is called conjugation. |

| | Moreover, we use the Latin alphabet, so that the language is read without difficulty. | | | 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. | | | It might be noted, however, that when Latin was spoken in everyday use, it was pronounced in accordance with the pronunciation of the native language in the country, so that the pronunciation in Italy differed considerably from that in France or Germany, not to speak of England. |

| | 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. | | | The paper also explains the special source filtering and parsing techniques required to efficiently interpret a programming language in which the syntax is (largely) non-positional. | | | 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. |

| | The Master Language |
| | However, the language itself is a respectable attempt at an international auxiliary language based squarely on a modified Latin vocabulary with English word order in place of the Latin inflectional system. | | | Although The Master Language is based on Latin, it will be seen that in a few respects, such as with the personal pronouns and pronominal adjectives, an original Latin word becomes merely the basis for a rather artificial and highly schematized system. | | | One such language which has served as a model or a base is Latin, which for a long time was in fact for practical purposes the international auxiliary language of western civilization. |

| | 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. | | | 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 — a distinction usually assigned to about the ninth century. | | | Classical Latin was always a rather artificial literary language; the Latin brought by Roman soldiers to Gaul or Dacia was not necessarily the Latin of Cicero. |

| | Why Study Latin? |
| | 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. | | | The Romans' language, Latin, came to be used everywhere, largely displacing the native languages of France, Spain, the Balkans, North Africa, and parts of western Asia. |

| | Universal language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the work of Gottfried Leibniz there are found many elements relating to the possibilities of universal languages, notably that of a constructed language, a concept that gradually replaced that of a rationalised form of Latin as the natural basis for a projected universal language. | | | Comparably, the Latin language (qua Medieval Latin) was in effect a universal language of literati in the Middle Ages, and the language of the Vulgate Bible, in the area of Catholicism which covered most of Western Europe and parts of Northern and Central Europe also. | | | Literature in the vernacular languages was on the rise from the early Renaissance, while learned works mostly ceased to be written in Latin during the course of the eighteenth century. |

| | Language game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Although language games are not usually used in everyday conversation, some words from language games have made their way into normal speech, such as ixnay in English (from Pig Latin), and loufoque in French (from Louchébem). | | | Each of these language games involves a usually simple standard transformation to speech, thus encoding it. | | | Some factions argue that words in these spoken tongues should simply be written the way they are pronounced, while others insist that the purity of language demands that the transformation remain visible when the words are imparted to paper. |

| | 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. |
