About the language
Latin was the language spoken by the Romans across the former Roman Empire. It is the root of many European languages and Latin terms are commonly used in medicine, science, law and biology. The spoken Classical Latin on this app has been voiced by graduates from the UK’s Oxford University, based on historical evidence of how it was spoken. They have also re-imagined modern-day words in Latin such as plane ‘aeria navis’ which translates as airborne ship.

Latin
is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally a dialect spoken in the lower Tiber area (then known as Latium) around present-day Rome, but through the power of the Roman Republic it became the dominant language in the Italian region and subsequently throughout the Roman Empire. Even after the fall of Western Rome, Latin remained the common language of international communication, science, scholarship and academia in Europe until well into the 18th century, when other regional vernaculars (including its own descendants, the Romance languages) supplanted it in common academic and political usage, and it eventually became a dead language in the modern linguistic definition.
Latin is a highly inflected language, with three distinct genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), six or seven noun cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative, and vocative), five declensions, four verb conjugations, six tenses (present, imperfect, future, perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect), three persons, three moods, two voices (passive and active), two or three aspects, and two numbers (singular and plural). The Latin alphabet is directly derived from the Etruscan and Greek alphabets.
Fun facts of language
- Words which come from Latin include ‘eg’ which is short for ‘exempli gratia’ – for example – ‘etc’ for ‘et cetera’ – and the rest – and ‘vice versa’ – position turned.
- ATMs in Vatican City display the Latin words ‘deductio ex pecunia’ – available for cash withdrawal.
- ‘I’ve got a wolf by the ears’, auribus teneo lupum, was a popular saying in Ancient Rome to describe a tricky situation.
- The Roman numeral system (I = 1, II = 2, III = 3, IV = 4 etc.) is still in use today.
