Why Latin Is Still Important Today

Did you know that Latin was the language spoken by the ancient Romans? It wasn’t just used in Rome—it later became the main language for learning and sharing knowledge across many countries during the Middle Ages.

Many famous old books and stories, called classics, were first written in Latin. That’s one reason it’s often called the language of scholars.

Latin is also one of the most precise and efficient languages. This means you can say a lot with just a few words! Because of this, Latin has had a big influence on many modern languages—especially English.

In fact, many English words come from Latin. Words like diary, village, and video all have Latin roots. That’s why learning Latin can help you understand other languages more easily too!
