| Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. DO you know that more than half the words in the English dictionary are Latin and that you are speaking more or less Latin every day? How did this come about? In the first place Latin and English, along with most of the other languages of Europe, are descended from a very ancient mother speech, which has long Since disappeared. They are, therefore, Sister languages and have many words in common. |
