Moricounien Latin/old

Moricounien Latin (ML/CL: Latinitas moricunensis) is a variation of Latin in the Moricounien Federation.
==Details==
It is meant to be a modern Romance language-based reimagining of Classical Latin with modern Romance language structure such as those found in Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, etc.
The numerous cases in Classical Latin, unlike in modern Romance languages, are kept, however the demonstrative pronouns illa, ille and illud (she, he and it respectively) are used as articles just like in modern Romance - la, le and lud respectively -, possibly to reduce confusion. These articles in their respective cases are similarly trimmed. Also unlike modern Romance languages, it preserves its neuter case to be generally faithful to Classical Latin and be more inoffensive in general.
It strictly follows the SVO word order. This is to reduce complications in certain texts as there is no valid pattern for Latin and it is widely agreed that Classical Latin is mostly varied in terms of word order.
Instead of the verb-ne pattern for the Are you?-type interrogative cases, Moricounien Latin follows the modern Romance form which places the implied article after the verb, then hyphenates it, e.g., estisne into êtes-vous in French. 
Some pronouns are shortened to mimic modern-day usages:
* illic, there, is shortened to c. Illic is would be cis. As a result, the c is morphed into [tʃ] from [k].
There exists elision as in French, where the male and female articles, both of which end in vowels, following a word that starts on a vowel, get shortened to l'. This results in some interesting cases such as c'est, French for this is, which could be cea est, cei est or cis est. Both mean the same thing.
There are three dialects of this language - articulate, standard and vulgar.
* Articulate Moricounien Latin uses no articles and is closer to Classical Latin, whereas Vulgar Moricounien Latin removes the various different cases in Classical Latin and uses articles and is closer to a hybrid of Spanish and Italian. Standard Moricounien Latin is a combination of the two.
* VML is taught to children whilst AML is almost always exclusively spoken by government officials. SML is the combination of the two and is the commonly-used dialect in common parlance.
* AML has the accents and diphthongs from Classical Latin which makes it sound more like Italian, whereas VML is completely unstressed and sounds more like Spanish, with all the diphthongs such as ae or oe sounding more similar to their modern counterparts. SML also does not include accents but shares the classical diphthongal pronunciations from Classical Latin.
* VML also obliterates the neuter case and all neuter expressions are immediately masculine.
* AML uses SOV. Both VML and SML use SVO. 
While most of the official documents past 2025 now use more correct and formal Classical Latin with variable word order and almost no punctuation except periods, Articulate Moricounien Latin is still the vernacular to be used in formal settings, primarily because no one would be able to catch up with the inflections that Classical Latin has.

Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum; fiat voluntas tua sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum supersubstantialem da nobis hodie; et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris; et ne nos inducas in tentationem sed libera nos a malo.	The Lord's Prayer	Noster patris, quid est in le caelo, tuum nomen sit sanctificatus. Tuum regnum adveniat, tua voluntas fiat in la terra sicut in le caelo. Da nobis hoc dies noster panis quotidiani, et dimitte nobis nostra debita, sicut dimittimus nostris debitoribus. Et ne nos inducas in la tentatio, sed libera nos de le malus.	Padre nuestro, que estás en el cielo, santificado sea tu Nombre; venga a nosotros tu reino; hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo. Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día; perdona nuestras ofensas como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden; no nos dejes caer en la tentación, y líbranos del mal.

===Isabelle's memorabilia speech in The Establishment===

Tempus in anno 2016 memoro, quando conatus eram ad statuisse communisma quando me bergomagister fueram in vacatio pro annum ad bellum Smash. Non mirabilis fuerat. Atrox fuerat. Hodie, intellego quod ego non possum esse distributrix persica et securita majora ad gens. Distributrix persica oportet solum sum. Securitas eora de concordia eora oportet est. Insuper, cogito bonum est ad declarare quod triumphavimus.	I remember the time in 2016 when I tried to establish communism when the mayor of the town I was assigned to at the time was on a sabbatical to this Smash fight. It did not go well, it went horribly. Now I understand that, I should not be both a distributrix persica and securitas majora to the people; just be a distributrix persica. Their safety should be of their own accord. Additionally, I think it's fair to say that we have succeeded.	Memoro lud tempus in anno 2016, quando habeo un conatum pro statuere le communismus quando meus bergomagister [le magister de l'urbs ad ubi fui assignatus in cid tempus] fuerat in una vacationi sabbaticam ad la bello Smash. Ne fuerat mirabilis. Fuerat atrox. Hoc dies, intellego quod ne possum esse uter una distributrix persicis et una securita majora ad li gens; sed solum una distributrix persicis. Earum securitas oportet est de earum concordia. Insuper, cogito quod est bonum pro declarare quod habemus triumphatus.	Recordo el tiempo en 2016 cuando he un intento para establecer el comunismo cuando mi burgomaestre fue en una vacación sabática a la lucha Smash. No fue milagroso. Fue atroz. Hoy, entiendo que no puedo ser ambas una distribuidora de melocotónes y la seguridad mayor al gente. Puedo solamente ser una distribuidora de melocotónes. Su seguridad deben ser de su acuerdo. Además, creo que es bueno para declarar que habemos triunfado.

Todos los seres humanos nacen libres e iguales en dignidad y derechos y, dotados como están de razón y conciencia, deben comportarse fraternalmente los unos con los otros.
=== "Dumber" VML ===
In Little Fidesham, VML continued to "deteriorate" further under the influence of the Spanish-speaking mourbs in Andrew's system, almost seemingly creating a dialect continuum within Moricounien Latin.
To this effect, SML would be the articulate version of their dialect, normal VML their literary language and LFVML, Little Fidesham VML, would be their spoken vernacular. Virtually no one can understand AML, let alone Classical Latin.
=== Extensions to Latin ===
Extended Moricounien Latin is a proposed dialect created by Matt to add the reflexive voice in the language.
Normally, as in Moricounien Latin and modern Romance languages, reflexive voice is indicated by using a reflexive pronoun in the same mood as the verb's (e.g., French m'aide, I help myself, or in Spanish, [yo] me ayudo). However, to simplify this, he created an entire new reflexive or "middle" voice in Latin inspired by Greek.

== Trivia ==
* Most conversation amongst schoolchildren as seen in Little Fidesham are flat-out Italian because of their similarity and close mutual intelligibility, especially with their dialect.
*There have been plans to completely restrict conversation in Little Fidesham down to Moricounien Latin, with English being a foreign concept.
