What Exactly Is Latin?
Latin is the root of the Romance languages (like Spanish, French, and Italian) and was the lingua franca of the Western world for centuries. Known for its precision and rhythmic beauty, it’s the language of epic poetry, scientific taxonomy, and timeless proverbs. While no longer spoken natively, Latin lives on in legal terms, medical jargon, and even Harry Potter spells (“Expelliarmus!”).
