latin?

[T78 4]

"Latin is a member of the family of Italic languages, and its alphabet, the Latin alphabet, emerged from the Old Italic alphabets, which in turn were derived from the Greek and Phoenician scripts. Latin was first brought to the Italian peninsula in the 9th or 8th century BC by migrants from the north, who settled in the Latium region, specifically around the River Tiber, where the Roman civilization first developed. Latin was influenced by the Celtic dialects in northern Italy and the non-Indo-European Etruscan language in Central Italy, and by Greek in southern Italy.

 

Although surviving Latin literature consists almost entirely of Classical Latin, an artificial, highly stylized and polished literary language from the 1st century BC, the actual spoken language of the Roman Empire was Vulgar Latin, which significantly differed from Classical Latin in grammar, vocabulary, and eventually pronunciation. Also, although Latin remained the main written language of the Roman Empire, Greek came to be the language spoken by the well-educated elite, as most of the literature studied by Romans was written in Greek. In the eastern half of the Roman Empire, which became the Byzantine Empire, the Greek Koine of Hellenism remained current and was never replaced by Latin."

Nope, just extremely suspicious of any group or cult that uses a language that no one except the leaders can understand.

Why would you be suspicious?.....and as for only the leaders understanding it.....Latin is taught in medical schools, Lawyers are conversant in Latin and I would imagine it is taught in some schools, so where are you going with this?.....as for your replies say what you feel mate no skin of my nose!

i only want a tattoo.... (booked in for thurs so will post pics when its done)

[jimmy0211 2]

i want a new tatto,ive googled it etc but want to make 200 percent sure before i get it... i want "prosapia premoris" accross top of my chest.anyone know any latin and is that correct for "family first"?

 

 

prosapia or familia both mean family in latin

Latin's a bugger, they've got different words for the same meanings depending on the context. Have you ever seen 'Life of Brian?'

 

 

Think the whole point of latin was to make sure that normal people didn't understand what the pope was saying, or of course to be able say one thing and then later change it to mean another, but surely the Roman Catholic Church wouldn't do that?!

 

Personally I'd rather cut my arm off than have the language of the pope written on it but we're all different I suppose .................

 

What have you against German's then ?

 

Germans? Nothing at all, after all Luther was one ............

 

you've got to respect the germans...2 cracks at the world title

[BlueCoyote 0]

funny discussion up there. seems like they were going A verbis ad verbera!!

lol i'm interested in Latin too (as in the ROMAN sans Catholic)

tattoo looks good anyway at least you're a guy and its warm out.. you can always go shirtless if it chafes you too much!

[mole catcher 1]

dont want to upset the apple cart here but ive just put it into 3 differant internet translators and all 3 have came back the same,

 

FAMILY TO SQUEEZE????? maybe not quite what you wanted?

[Scallywag 78]

Great tattoo and good sentiment, too (unless you have a family like mine - what's the latin for 'run for your life' ?!)

i put it into a few more than that before i went to get it done! plus the tattoist also checked. its definately as it should be!

(family to squeeze is "prosapia premo"!!!! lol

[Timid Toad 18]

Those online "translators" are worthless. They're bad enough for the Romance languages, but when it comes to Latin, they're impossible! You can render those phrases as follows:

 

"From the cross comes salvation" = De cruce venit salus

 

"Family first" = Primo familia

 

"Faith and family" = Fides et familia

 

 

this is what i got when i asked lol wish i hadnt bothered i have enough problems with english thanks
