Latin may be claimed by some scholars to be a dead language. I disagree and wholehartedly would advise any linguists to study it as I find it helps me to understand other languages. But enough of the serious stuff, this page is for fun with the Latin language. Stop acedemic arguements dead with a few carefully chosen phrases, try a few phrases on your friends, your wife, your Pastor or church leaders, or anywhere!. Have fun!. NB: I do not have or run a Latin Translation service, please don't send me letters or stuff and ask me to translate it, sorry.
