Non Fui. Fui. Etiam Sum!

Salvete!,

This past semester I took a course on Latin Compostion.  For my final, I had to compose an article of at least 200 words into Latin and post it on Wikipedia.  For those who are able, I’m seeking criticism on all sides.  For those who are new to Latin, I’d like to take this opprotunity to present just another way Latin is alive and kicking in this world.

Wikipedia, along with its many other languages, has a Latin section to it, otherwise known as Vicipaedia. The article I composed was about Dai Vernon, a very famous magician within the magic world, just another one of my passions. Now, this article is not an exact copy of the English version, so for those of you using it as an aid in translation be warned.

Valete

Salve,

It was recently brought to my attention that Latin is still being used as a spoken lanugage in parts of Switzerland.  Much to my disappointment this is not so. The alleged Latin is in fact a language called Romansh.  It is heavly influenced by Latin, but nevertheless is not Latin.  Still, I suggest you check it out for yourselves.  The site I’m providing is from Wikipedia, my apologies for a lack of a more academically accepted site, but I believe it is a good place to start.  As I understand it, Romansh is said to be “the people’s Latin” which has most likely led to the confusion.

Vive Latina!
