History of Latin

Latin was the language of ancient Rome and through Roman conquest became Europe's dominant language. Medieval Latin was the language of scholarship and the Church. Though no longer spoken natively, Latin lives on in the Vatican, scientific nomenclature, legal terminology, and the Romance languages it spawned.

Is Latin Hard to Learn?

Hard

Latin has six grammatical cases, complex verb conjugations, and flexible word order determined by endings. However, Latin's influence on English, Romance languages, and scientific vocabulary means much will be familiar. It's a gateway to understanding European languages.
