why isn't the official language of the EU latin?

[ElFenix]

i think that would be cool... the language of the educated...

 

[Bootprint]

I vote Esperanto.

 

[RaDragon]

Hey, if they do make it Latin, then this stuff I'm learning will actually be useful!

 

[aplefka]

That'd be cool, but I think it'd take some work to bring it back

 

[Slappy00]

yah, but latin would have to catch up with modern terminology, i mean how do you say "car" in latin or "bling"

most of my latin learning was reading about Caesar and the Gauls

 

[iversonyin]

opps, nevermind

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Latin isn't a spoken language

Latin would be a great language.

 

[Steve]

I vote for Gaelic.

 

[MegaWorks]

Petak tlhIngan maH!

 

[LtPage1]

[imported_waldo]

how bought welsh?

 

[ActuaryTm]

Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.

 

[ElFenix]

or maybe all official US government business...

 

[Martin]

Esperanto would make more sense.

Getting the whole EU to declare an offical language sounds fun. I heard the biggest problems when they have meetings is translators. Like if a French speaker takes the floor, there's a need for a French to Spanish, French to English, French to Italian, and so on, with all the combos in between.

Why hasn't the official language of the US been changed to Bling Bling yet?

It was done with Hebrew. I'm sure it could be done with Latin.

Like you know how to speak it as sexy as Enya.

Latin died out long ago, and Latin as well as the pedophiles who still speak it in the Vatican should have been buried long ago.
