A lot of scientists, linguists, archaeologists, historians etc. are considering that 8,500 years ago, Romania was the heart of the old European civilization. The new archaeological discoveries from Tartaria, (Romania), showed up written plates older than the Sumerian ones. More and more researches and studies converged to the conclusion that the Europeans are originated in a single place, the lower Danube basin. Down there, at Schela and Cladova in Romania have been discovered proves of the first European agricultural activities which appear to be even older than 10,000 years. Out of 60 scientifically works which are covering this domain, 30 of them localize the primitive origins of the man-kind in Europe, where 24 of them are localizing this origin in the actual Romania, (Carpathian- Danubian area); 10 are indicating western Siberia, 5 Jutland and/or actual Germany room, 4 for Russia, 4 for some Asian territories, 1 for actual France area and all these recognisied despite against the huge pride of those nations. Jean Carpantier, Guido Manselli, Marco Merlini, Gordon Childe, Marija Gimbutas, Yannick Rialland, M. Riehmschneider, Louis de la Valle Poussin, Olaf Hoekman, John Mandis, William Schiller, Raymond Dart, Lucian Cuesdean, Sbierea, A. Deac, George Denis, Mattie M.E., N. Densuseanu, B.P. Hajdeu, P Bosch, W. Kocka, Vladimir Gheorghiev, H. Henchen, B.V. Gornung, V Melinger, E. Michelet, A. Mozinski, W. Porzig, A. Sahmanov, Hugo Schmidt, W. Tomaschek, F.N. Tretiacov are among the huge number of specialists which consider Romania the place of otehr Europeans origines and Romanian the oldest language in Europe, older even than Sanskrit. According to the researchers and scientists, the Latin comes from the old Romanian (or Thracian) and not vice versa. The so called "slave" words are in fact pure Romanian words. The so called vulgar Latin is in fact old Romanian, or Thracian language, according to the same sources... The arguments sustaining the theories from above are very numerous and I don't want to go into them so deeply as long as the forum is and has to remain one languages dedicated, to. In the limits of the language, please allow me to present a list of just a few (out of thousands of words), which are very similar/ even identical in Romanian and Sanskrit: Romanian numerals : unu, doi, trei, patru, cinci, sase, sapte...100=suta Sanskrit numerals: unu, dvi, tri, ciatru, penci, sas, saptan...100 = satan then Romanian Sanskrit acasa acasha (at home) acu acu (now) lup lup ( wolf) a iubi (considered slave) iub (love) frate vrate (brother) camera camera (room) limba lamba (tongue) nepot napat (neffew) mandru mandra (proud) lupta lupta (fight) pandur pandur (infanterist) nevasta navasti (wife) prieten prietema (friend) pranz prans (lunch time) Ruman Ramana (Romanian) saptamana saptnahan (week) struguri strughuri (grapes) vale vale (valley) vadana vadana (widow) a zambi dzambaiami (to smile) umbra dumbra (shadow) om om (man-kind) dusman dusman (enemy) a invata invati (to study) a crapa crapaiami (to break something) naiba naiba (evil) apa apa (water) and not AQUA like in Latin. It looks like aqua came from apa and not the other way around... and so on for more than thousand situations... According to M. Gimbutas, the confusion Roman (Romanian as in original language) = Roman (ancient Rom citizen), is generated by the fact that Romans and Romanians have been the same nation, the same people. The Dacians/Thracians and Romans have been twins. The illiterate peasants called Romanians, Ruman and not Roman. Why do they call so? Because RU-MANI, RA-MANI, RO-MANI, API, APULI, DACI and MAN-DA , VAL-AH are all synonyms expressing the person from the river banc or from the river valley. APII could be found under the form of mez-APPI in the ancient Italy, under he same name as the APPULI Dacians. APU-GLIA, (or Glia Romanilor in Romanian - Romanian land) can be found with this meaning only in Romanian (Glia= land) In the Southern side of Italian "booth" exists the first neolitical site of Italy and it is called MOL-feta. The name itself has Romanian names, according to Guido A. Manselli: MOL-tzam (popular Thank you), MUL-tumire (satisfaction), na-MOL (mud); MOL-dova (province and river in Romania, Za-MOL-xis, Dacian divinity. Manselli said that this archaeological sit is 7,000 years old and has a balcanic feature. I came up with this topic just to hear decent opinions and not banalities like those of a few days ago when while surfing for a language forum, I read all kind of suburban interventions. This topic is for people whith brain only. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5mnfoqjfLR1qKM

I did. Metela en lecto recumbit. Metela is relaxing in the living room. And versipilis for werewolf. The spelling is probably wrong but that's all I can remember. Lol

@DoretteGYoung - Love it!! I took Latin as a subject in high school back in the 1970s. One of the few phrases I remember is "Melius est Herodis porcum esse quam filum" which was apparently the emperor Augustus' witty remark "It's better to be Herod's pig than his son!" -- the logic being that King Herod, being a Jew, would never harm a pig, but had 3 of his sons killed, as he became increasingly paranoid that they were plotting to overthrow him. And "Ave Caesar, morituri te salutant" which translates roughly as "Hail Caesar, we (literally, those) who are about to die salute you", the final words of foreign gladiators who then moved out to slaughter each other, merely for the entertainment of the cheering Roman populace.

Why learn latin when you can learn greek?

[@roncoleridge3430]

I disagree. Current research shows that Latin did not ‘change’ or ‘turn’ into other Romance languages. Latin was spoken by very few in ancient Rome, the Roman Elite, but was a lingua Franca and the written language for all the people during the Roman Empire. Latin is a far cousin of those languages it influenced not the mother language. Since Latin was the mother tongue of so very few, it was easy for it to virtually disappear once the Empire collapsed.

[@blackfang3000]

So let's calculate. The Florentian is better literal language, the Latin is better Spoken Language.

go back into the history the foundation father of Rome and the language latin was Esau .Esau sold his rights to the inheritance for a bowl of red lentils. Rome usurped the body of the son of God, the group of those who believed in the teachings of the son of God , and created its own way to the kingdom of God . Just as Esau breathed murder and death as his hatred for Jacob grew so has Rome gone around world wide and killed as many of the true believers as they could in their inquisitions calling them witches. They outlawed the word of God , created a new name by which mankind can be saved, a new door into the kingdom of God , a new truth and stood in front of the door God created and took the life of everyone they could who tried to enter through it. If you are reading this this is Gods attempt to show you His truth. Repent for the kingdom of God has come upon you.
