Interesting thesis. . . .is this also true of French, German, Spanish, etc. . . ?


By the Way. . . .Law is another area full of Latin words used to confuse all but the experts. . . .scheming
 Quoting: George B


French and Spanish, as far as I can tell, are somewhat so. However, they were bastardized from Latin sooner, and by more directly 'governmental' forces.

English was more strongly and directly influenced by the priesthood, while Spanish and French were influenced more by 'priestly governors' if that makes sense. The Roman Empire brought in the French/Spanish languages, not so much the priesthood. These languages predate English.

Gaelic was what was replaced by English, though this is why English bears much more of other Euro languages. Because much of Continental Europe already had a good deal of Greek, which was the 'universal' language of the Roman Empire. The language of commerce, etc.

So the antecedent of these languages is Greek based with bastardized Latin to keep them within the realm of the priests and governors' understandings.

Because it was one of the earliest bastardized languages, French was for a time the dominant language, the universal language (much the way English is now, and Mandarin likely will be in the near future).

It was spread by indirect remaining Roman influence, unlike English which was spread almost exclusively by priests. However, by that time, Catholicism had such a strong hold that 'governor' and 'priest' was nearly inseparable.

They forced their language and their calendar onto the world with powerful economic sanctions (and murder). English did not supplant French and Spanish entirely because they share the latin ancestry, which means none of them are close enough to latin to make latin understandable to the common person... yet close enough that there is little learning required for
the 'elite' usurpers to learn it fluently.

What turned you on to this subject. . . ? Any Catholic background or education???? . . . coffee4
 Quoting: George B


[link to www.unrv.com]

"Latin also survived the fall of the Roman Empire. As the centuries passed it continued to be an international language of the educated and social elite, accompanying the modified tongues of the common people. The sole language of the Catholic Church was Latin, and all scholarly, historical, or scientific work was written in it. The replacement of the Romans itself as an international authority, with that of the church, was a key factor in keeping the language alive and in practice. When the Middle Ages ended, end the west experienced a cultural Renaissance, interest in classical Latin as a means of artistic and literary expression grew. During and after this period of re-birth, forms of Latin were even transplanted to the Western Hemisphere. Today, the people of Mexico, Central America, and South America are called Latins or latinos . . .

Latin today may be a dormant language but it remains an important piece of our linguistic puzzle. The use of Latin for names of places, anatomy, biology and others still dominates several scientific and medical fields. People all over the world are studying Latin with enthusiasm and energy. It, of course, is still alive and well within the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church. It is gaining new popularity among modern Italians and Romans; and conventions of Latin speaking people are becoming a regular occurrence in Europe. Latin is anything but a dead language."
