message: Why? Quod abundat non nocet!
There's a current discussion in the board of language committee about the closing of latin wikipedia and the reject of opening of ancient greek wikipedia
Wait a second... latin is not a dead language. It is one of the languages used in the Vatican City for several official documents, decrees, judgements etc... That is also stated in a wikipedia article: "...Latin is the official language of the curia..." 
this is just an example: 
and here there is another: 
yes perhaps it is hardly spoken but it is still a live written language.
replies: text: Thanks for the information and pointing out the links which are very interesting. I believe, however, that the criterion of "dead language" typically used is whether the language is someone's native first language. In that sense being written and spoken by people doesn't change it's "deadness".--Rafaelgarcia 13:58, 22 Aprilis 2008 (UTC)
Remember that Hebrew was dead for almost two thousand years, had a strong comeback, and today is the native language of more than five million Israelis. Don't give up. Perhaps one day Latin will be spoken again outside liturgy. --76.66.27.47 22:20, 2 Iunii 2008 (UTC)
It's pretty sad that white Americans have no ties to their actual cultural roots, therefore look to the cultures of others (the 5'1" midget romans) to fill that void. Have fun with your fruity togas.

replies: text: Well, if you know the way Latin is usually structured, you can kind of approximate a name into Latin. For instance, Mark would be Marcus, Andrew would be Andrus, and Dave would be Davus. It's a bit harder with women's names, but first-declension nouns in Latin, which are generally feminine, end in 'a' for the nominative. Alexis would be Alexia, Helen would be Helena, Natalie would be Natalia. Names that end in the masculine -us or feminine -a can usually be left alone. For some words there are specific Latin translations, but as far as I know you're all right with just morphing it a little. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Sparkstarthunderhawk 21:22, 30 Maii 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: :That is not the way we do things here. We translate first names only when there are attested translations. By the way Andrew is Andreas not Andrus. Do you have an attestation for Dave=Davus? Dave in english is just a informal way of saying David and Latin for David is David.--Rafaelgarcia 23:18, 30 Maii 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: ::Davus is a perfectly good Latin personal name, at least in a generic or metonymic way (Davus sum, non Œdipus 'I'm an ordinary man, not a solver of riddles', 'I'm a simple guy, not an expert'; ex Terentii Andria, i.2.23), but it presumably has nothing to do with the name David. IacobusAmor 23:29, 30 Maii 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: :::I agree that Davus is a perfectly good Latin name, but does it translate Dave?. Or rather since Davus is more ancient than Dave, does Dave translate Davus?--Rafaelgarcia 23:31, 30 Maii 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: ::::I doubt it! Surely, as you said, Dave is a version of David ; likewise Davey. IacobusAmor 02:26, 31 Maii 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: :::::My Latin teacher translated our names for us in class, and informed us that until we learned any better, it was usually safe to just mutate the ending of the name and add the proper declension ending. Was he wrong, or was he just simplifying things for us? Even the third- and fourth-year Latin students referred to one another in this way at the last JCL convention.. Sparkstarthunderhawk 19:46, 13 Iunii 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: ::::::Your teacher was simplifying things more than we should at an encyclopedia. On the other hand, you have the right to call yourself whatever you wish!--Rafaelgarcia 00:39, 14 Iunii 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: :::::::"David" is a Hebrew name and is usually undeclined in Latin. "Davus" is an unrelated Roman name.

thread_title:  Opes et commendationes 

message: As the pagina prima was getting its new look, I said (I think) that I was worried about the quality of some of the first-stop articles that have links in the encyclopaedia section. They're very variable ... When I can find time I'm going to try to improve a few of them, and if others feel like doing something similar that would be great.
It's partly text, partly images, partly how they are linked together and what is linked on from them. They are supposed to be a way into Vicipaedia, and I think some currently serve this purpose better than others. I'm going to try working in the area Litterae and maybe Linguistica first: let's face it, it wouldn't make much sense for me to attempt science :=) Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 20:12, 14 Augusti 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello,
I'm a Latin pupil at a German school and I wonder about the AE in "VICIPAEDIA". Has this letter really been existing in the latin language?
replies: text: Yes, the ligatures Æ and Œ are well attested, especially in inscriptions. At wikipedia we just use plain ae and oe unligatured in our articles, but you can see them ligatured by selecting this option in your user preferences.--Rafaelgarcia 14:36, 16 Septembris 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: :We do allow Æ & Œ in logos and other places where display is the point. Lest anyone argue that this is an inappropriate inconsistency: incidences of unusual characters & styles are traditionally acceptable in display fonts, whose appearance in the layout results from the demands & allowances of graphic design, rather than the need to produce easily read words. In this sense, Æ & Œ function like trademarks & logos: in running text, we don't want them, as they'll attract attention to themselves and slow readers down; but in places where display (not "reading") is the point, as in advertisements, we customarily allow them. For example, in running text, we expect to see the words "Coca-Cola" in whichever typeface the rest of the context is set, but in an ad, we expect to see the familiar cursive & flourishy font, printed in red, like this: . Likewise Æ & Œ, not to mention C. for 'Gaius' and other such sigla.  IacobusAmor 16:27, 16 Septembris 2008 (UTC)
