Latin belongs to the Italian language family of the Indo-European language family and was first spoken in the Latium region (today's Lazio region of Italy) and the Roman Empire. Although Latin is now generally considered a dead language, there are still a few Christian clergy and scholars who can speak Latin fluently. Below are the Latin proverbs I compiled. If you are interested, come and take a look.
