General Overview
Origin and History Latin (Lingua Latina) is a lanfuage of the Indo-European family that appeared in Italy in the mid 2nd millenium BC. Formerly it was argued that together with the other Indo-European languages of ancient Italy (Faliscan, Osco-Umbrian and Venetic) Latin forms a separate Italic linguistic group, but now this view is not held anymore, though considerable mutual influences are not excluded. The later colloquial form of Latin ( the so called Proto-Romance or Vulgar Latin ) became ancestral to the modern Romance languages The long history of Latin may be divided into 9 periods:
  • Preliterary period (till 240 BC). In this period Latin was spoken by small groups of people living along the lower Tiber River. The Etruscan variant of the Western Greek alphabet was adopted in the 7th century BC. The language is known from some inscriptions.
