The Latin Language.
Lingua Mortuus est.
Really?
After 2 years of studying Latin, not once has the language ceased to amaze and inspire me. For once, I truly enjoy doing homework, studying and translating the enlightening texts of centuries past. Everyday I get to discover the connections between Latin and the English we use today, so it's no surprise that I'm questioning a generally accepted statement; Latin is a dead language.
Whether by paper or voice, we make use of the "Latin Lingua" everyday.
That doesn't seem dead to me.
But technically, the language isn't fluently used in it's original form to communicate with others.
So here lies the question
The Latin Language: dead or alive?
