I am just learning how to speak Latin. I am quite good after a day and a half of learning. I was wondering how many Latin speakers Roblox holds. Pipe up? |

Wait a second... did you say a day and a half? How are you "quite good" after simply a day and a half?
I know that Latin is quite forgiving with its morphemes, but that should not decrease the time to THAT little... |

@akao
Rosetta stone. And by the statement I made "I am quite good after a day and a half" I meant I was quite good with the little time given. Not fluent but good for said time. I already know 30+words. |

No one speaks Latin, it's been a dead language for a great many years now. We have guesses as to how to speak in Latin, but we have no idea how to actually speak in Latin. |

Hah... I could tell you one country that could give you a hint of what Latin sounds like. Romanian is probably the closest thing to Latin you'll get in today's day and age.
But yes, Doom Bringer... Sadly, nobody speaks Latin anymore... It's gone the way of Gaulish and Manx, sadly. |

Latin IS dead but still, we learn how to speak latin in school sometime because some word in other language have root word of latin. |
|
|
"ego ago" mean "I do" in Latin, just remind you. |
|
|
PM me if you want know any more latin words. |

That's not what was being said at all. You didn't see the true meaning of the text provided. What we were trying to get across is the fact that Latin is a very dead language and nobody REALLY knows what it sounded like in the past. The pronunciations are vague and everything behind the language is lost in antiquity. Nobody really knows what it all sounds like in this day and age and some things don't even come close when put in modern day time. |

@Nuna: We can make guesses at how Latin sounded by looking at how modern romance languages sound. The alphabet used in romance languages (and English) came from Latin so most of the letters sound very similar.
It's the same story with Ancient Egyptian. We don't know how that sounded, but we can use a more modern descendant, Coptic. Coptic is a language which is similar to Ancient Egyptian and is written with the Greek alphabet, but with a few letters added to represent sounds in Coptic that aren't in Greek. Using Coptic words and pronunciations, Jean-François Champollion deciphered the hieroglyphs.
O.o that last paragraph was a bit off topic but oh well =P I like languages =D |

@MrDoomBringer, well. I surely know people who speak it.
