Omnia Dicta Fortiora Si Dicta Latina

Vae perdo de glorium Latina
Qui melior antiquus de lingua
Vae perdo de senex morium
Revertus per ante oblivio
Perditio omnia

Woe, the loss of glorious Latin
That superior language of the ancients
Woe, the loss of the old ways
Let us return before forgetfulness
Destroys all

As a linguist, the thought of a language dying is horrible, and the thought of one resurrecting is exciting beyond all reason. That is why I am so excited about the reemergence of Latin. And now it's never been easier to learn it, either.

Here are some great online resources:

    Distroys/Destroys. Your choice, as long as it's an informed choice.
