Latin tongue

Latin is an olden Indo-European tongues at first spoken in the land about Rome called Latium. It became widely spoken as the main tongue of the Roman Caeserdom. As a wordending and wordbuilding tongue, it leans little on wordsetting. The Latin staffhoard, which comes from the Greek, are the most widely written in the world.

Altough now widley thought of as a dead tongue with almost no born speakers and few skilled ones, Latin has been a great draw for many tongues that are yet thriving, and has some standing in the field of lore. Six out of every ten words in English come somehow from Latin, and most of today's tongues have at least some words from Latin. All of the Romance tongues have Latin as their shared forebear. Moreover, in the Western world, Latin was the shared tongue for lore and rikscraft for over a thousand years before being overtaken by French. Church Latin is yet the main tongue of the Roman Catholic Church, and thus the lawful tongue of the Vatican.

Eretide
Latin is one the Italic tongues, and was brought to Italy in the eight or seven hundreds BC by incomers from the north who settled in Latium, moreso about the Tiber ea. Latin drew on the Celtic tongues and the Etruscan tongue in the north, and on Greek in the south.
