Latin

A language which, in being both dead alive, can be likened to a vampire. Yet another similarity with that group, is that as Vampires suck the life from unsuspecting victims, so too does this language. Steer Clear; if you hear the words declension, double dative, or ablative of means, a latin vampire attack may be near.

-I used to have a soul, then I took Latin

Latin

The language you will take years of and still struggle because there is always new things to learn.
Teacher: There is another case
Any student: What! They only taught us the nominative, genative, dative, accusitive, ablative, and vocative
Teacher: Well there is a locative case
Any student: Smh, I only take Latin because it is a required language.

Latine

It’s LatinX but like less offensive but still stupid looking.

just say Latin(o) for men (Latin(a) for women and refer to the ethnicity as Latino, unless it’s with a feminine topic. Or a singular person or group of women.

Not sorry if I upset any blue haired astros.
Person 1: “hey should I say Latine or Latinx”

Person 2: “Stick to Latin(o/a) it’s rude to change a language just to fit in a few people who don’t wanna be categorized in the first place.

Person 1: gracias, ahora no me estoy apropiando de su cultura para que se ajuste a mis deseos

Person 2: De nada mejor amiga 😄

Latin

Concise, eloquent, exact. The language of poets.
As opposed to common belief, not a dead language, but still exerting great linguistic influence over modern languages and actively used in, not only the field of academia such as medicine and taxonomy, but also legal circles and the republic of Vatican. Latin is playfully utilized in contemporary art, e.g. in translating children's classics or in the lyrics of such artists as for example Enigma.
Valid reasons for encouraging the teaching of Latin in schools: Latin develops analytical and linguistic abilities and provides insight into the roots of modern Western culture.
Gaius Valerius Catullus:

Odi et amo. Quare id faciam, fortasse requiris. Nescio, sed fieri sentio, et excrucior.

Latin

A "dead language" that almost nobody speaks anymore. Would take around 2 years to learn it fully if you have a good teacher and practice daily.

Some languages are based on Latin such as Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Catalan, Romanian Etc...

Even some words in English are based on Latin words like the word difficilis which means difficult.

Some people find this language hard to learn, lets be honest... It is.
Teacher- Kids take out your Latin notebooks!

All the kids in my class- Ugh! Not Latin!

Latin

A lot like Elvis in many ways
1. It's dead
2. No one can seem to accept that
"Why do we have to learn Latin?
IT'S FUCKING DEAD!"

"Hey dad, I got an A* in my Latin A level!"
"Go do something worthwhile with your life, son. Like FRENCH!"
