doin yo mom

some letters dont have a direct translation

these do

A load of common european etimologies come from Greek if you were wondering

And were spread by the Romans

Latin is essentially simplified ancient Greek, mixed with etruscan words and various words from ancient italic dialects

Consider that the vast majority of Italian words obviously come from latin, of which, the beauty of 8355 are originally Greek, being technically the foreign language that has influenced us the most @ΕΘΝΙΚH ΑΝΤΙΣΤΑΣΗ

Another fun fact about Italian: It has the same pronunciation system as Church Latin.

Epic!

Well, yeah. No need to specify church latin, the pronunciation is the same of historical latin @Deleted User according to the traditional teaching scheme

c is gay, k master race t.classical romans

Well, most say that classical Latin had a different pronunciation system than Church Latin.

Lmao no

@Pelkių monstras

That's an invention

Romans didn't pronounce it that way

We got ancient roman books saying c should be replaced as its still makes the same sound as another letter fam. and actually sardinian keeps the original pronounciation of the c(k)

@Deleted User that's what northern europeans say based on the influence their native language has mixed with latin

denying language change is cope.

Its like me saying Lithuanian is the same as old Prussian

What?

similiar sure but there are a lot of differences.

Ofc it has changed

There's a massive gap between church latin and classical latin

1k years

in the 1k years latin evolved to be MUCH closer to modern Italian

And ofc there is a huge difference

But not in that sense

latin in the WRE had the same pronounciation as Italian

WRE?

anyways, I was going to say about the nominative and genitive cases for words, on the other hand, for example, for male friend in greek we say φιλο and for female φιλη

western roman empire

Ah

Well yes

In the late empire too

multiple male friends: φιλος and multiple female friends: φιλες

@anthr0pos

actual linguist not spilling shit from memory

with sources

so obviously we still have cases like in almost every language
