The thing is, Interlingua does not magically give you access to Roman literature, or even
Latin sentences. None of the modern languages do, they are all too far off."

Sure ! But we are talking about fun, and classic latin, usually , does'n't fit with the word "Fun"

Roman literature written in the latin is for a small elite of latin nerds.
interlingua has some connection with latin , like esperanto has with klingon.

Mainly in the form that people who don't like Esperanto sometimes like to bring Klingon up, as part of bashing it.

Esperanto predates Klingon by around a century, and Klingon is not based in any way that I am aware of off Esperanto.

It's an annoying pity to see people promoting one language by bashing another, and it's far too frequent.

Volte, Don't be so serious ! It was just a joke, a crack!

Interlingua , Esperanto and Klingon are useless in the same way....

This thread is geared towards Latin. Whilst other languages can obviously be mentioned in the right contexts, I would rather that the Esperanto-bashing (or any other kind of language-bashing) be stopped, otherwise this thread will be closed.

Thanks.

Lingua populo Romani, qui sermo vulgaris sive rusticus dictus est, mater multarum linguarum olim facta est, videlicet linguae Italianae, lingua Gallicae, linguarum populorum Hispanorum aliacumque nonnullarum. Interlingua tamen his sexaginta annis recentissima linguae Latinae exstiti filia laboribus doctorum virorum permultorum elaborata. Haec Interlingua verba omnia linguae Latinae et Graecae continet grammatica maxime simplici coniuncta ideoque populis Europaeis populisque totius mundi facillime inteligi recte creditur

Le lingua del populo roman, que le vulgo o populo rustic ha parlate, ha olim essite le matre de multe linguas, a saper lo qual del Italiano, francese, del populos hispanic e de multe alteres. Interlingua tamen, con su sexanta annos le plus recente lingua latin, emergeva como filia de labor elaborate per multe viros docte. Interlingua, con parolas de linguas latin e grec e con un grammatica maxime simplice, pro isto poterea conjunger populos de Europa e tote le mundo al plus facilemente apperciper le unes le alteres.

Latin can be fun! listen this song !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMSPp8cHLB8

Mutatis mutandis absit iniuria verbis
temporibus illis obtorto collo … tango!
Ubi maior minor cessat talis pater talis filius
motu proprio ad maiora
ahi, vademecum tango, ad usum Delphini.
Ubi maior minor cessat talis pater talis filius
motu proprio ad maiora
ahi, vademecum tango… sed alea iacta est!
Memento audere semper mala tempora currunt.
Per aspera ad astra parva sed apta mihi
horribile visu sed ex abrupto… tango!
Ubi maior minor cessat talis pater talis filius
motu proprio ad maiora
ahi, vademecum tango, ad usum Delphini.
Ubi maior minor cessat talis pater talis filius
motu proprio ad maiora
ahi, vademecum tango… sed alea iacta est!
Ubi maior minor cessat talis pater talis filius
motu proprio ad maiora
ahi, vademecum tango, ad usum Delphini.
Ubi maior minor cessat talis pater talis filius
motu proprio ad maiora
ahi, vademecum tango… sed alea iacta est!
Ipso facto magna pars!
