Latin is by far the most important language in the hisotry of mankind, it brought us many of today's lanuages, and is even still spoken by some cultures.

I would have to go with English for the sole reason that it could be spoken along side with different emotions easily. Like some languages people could be speaking calmly but it seems their angry and that doesn't happen often with english. (I have an automatic bias because i only know enlgish and a little spanish)

I would say English because a lot of people speak it. It also is important to learn in order to communicate with americans if your a immigrant.

By that same logic, how is Latin not the best? It helps English people better understand other languages.

How is that a bad thing?

immature, greeny.. immature... editing posts? c'mon now.. dont pull a vermon

I didn't edit your post, i was confused by the fact that you changed you opinion from latin to english.

I'm not sure of how latin helps us understand other languages(i don't know much about latin) Enlighten me.

think of the word lucrative
what's it mean, without looking?



well, the latin word it's rooted from, lucra, means profit
therefore, lucrative means profitable



et cetera

latin

"and the others" or "and the rest"

I know latin has strong ties to english but what about other languages?

German is modeled quite literally in the mirror opposite way of Latin
in german, the W is pronounced like a V
in latin, the V is pronounced like a W

and many other aspects
Italian, is almost thoroughly latin.
as is spanish

French can find it's roots in latin as well.

So would you rather speak english or latin?

i speak both ^_^

If you had to choose one which one would you choose. Which one sounds better?

Latin is easier to speak, and their sentences are much much simpler

but English can describe and project feeling in much more detail

so i use a mix of both

honestly, sometimes by accident, ill burst out something in english-latin

why do you know latin?

i've been studying it for 2 years, about to enter my 3rd

Do you really like it, cuz i did spanish for a long time and didn't really learn much

that's you couldnt find enjoyment in it.
if you find enjoyment in something, it's amazing how much you can learn from it.

Yea i know thats why i asked, but i did like some parts of spanish and those things i learned easy.

Hey is it hard to write in latin?

do you know the english alphabet? can you write in all caps? then no

I dont know what your trying to say

ET CETERI
IN ACTIS DIURNIS IAMDUDUM ES CELEBRATUS
VIVITE BENE

that's latin

can you translate that for me

And so on (and the others)
You're yesterday's news
Live well!

oh i knew that first word looked like something i knew and that last one is like spanish "vivir"=to live and "bien"=good....i guess latin is in spanish too.

yup.. that's because.... spanish... CAME FROM LATIN...
so did italian, which is why half of that is just like italian

English because its used alot

Someone please define English and what it is made of.

Japanese is the best language.

why do you think that.

English is composed of lots of things.

English is a mottled assortment of nearly every language on Earth. I still stand by Latin, but I add ancient Greek.
