Latin Language

Latin is an ancient language that originated in the Italian region of Latium and was spoken by the Romans. It is the precursor to the Romance languages, such as Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian. Latin was the language of science, law, and literature during the Middle Ages and remains significant in fields like medicine, biology, and theology. Today, while no longer a spoken language, it is used in academic, legal, and ecclesiastical contexts, and many English words are derived from Latin roots. It serves as a critical link to Western civilization's history and literature.
