I studied Latin in Highschool....I never understood why, because back then, it was a dead language....and it still is. Mac is completely right.

Oddly enough, before I moved to wonderfully warm Vermont, I lived in Spain for 12 years. I had never studied Spanish, but very quickly realized how much of the Spanish language was based on Latin. Verb conjugation is almost exact.

Some of the European languages, I believe including English, are known as romance languages.....stemming from Latin....although English has been 'tainted' by many other countries languages, probably because it kept being invaded by almost everyone in western Europe....until William did his bit in 1066 and we had had enough by then. (That's a joke, just in case anyone feels differently...well, anyone French that is).

For the Finnish, give up...Latin is dead....and as a matter of interest...how many other countries speak Finnish? Maybe that's why they are choosing to speak Latin. laugh (another joke....hell, I don't care )
