The official language of Church? I thought it was Latin considering the fact that 'The Bible' is in Latin as well! I had visited Rome some...two years ago and had been to the Sisteen Chapel. It was such a beauty! The paintings of 'The Creation' by Michel Angelo on its ceiling especially! I've heard that the new Pope is cool as hell XD

Well...Illiad and Odyssey are very much better than the Fairy Tails XD Uh huh! A mix of Greek and Roman mythology! The Pantheon, tasks of Heracles, Records of Plato etc. are interesting as hell!!!

@Firefox
I know right XD

Sure it is, Ancient's Romans language is Latin, which the Church adopted as its official language.

Modern Roman's dialect is a variation of Italian language, it's a regional speech pattern, pretty similar to normal Italian tough, some Italian dialects are closer to Greek and some others are similar to Spanish (but speaking of dialects here is a bit complicated, it has much to do with the Italian Peninsula's history, since up until 1860 Italy wasn't even a country).

Urgh Tacito....  but what about Livio and Seneca then....those were nightmares to translate, compared to them we always hoped for Cicero.

And let's not go into Greek.. TT^TT Aristoteles, Sofocle, Erodoto, Tucidide....PLATO....the Maturità exam was super unlucky in my year for people of classico....we got a big ass piece of work of Plato to translate...golly I still remember it, it was 'Socrates and Politics'. *runs aways*

 

I'm super nobly foulmouthed thankyouverymuch. ù.ù 

 

Edit: no, wait, I was wrong, it was 'Socrates and Politics'.

 

 

   

 

 

Mmh... Seneca was too much troublesome  I used to love translating Caesar stuff, especially with his de bello gallico and now I don't remember anything about it anymore lol. Maturità eh? Luckly, I got italian and math as the first two exams at that time (e grazie arcazzo, facevo lo scientifico lol) If I had found Seneca, I would have killed the professors of the committee   Iliad? I remember my favourite character was Aiace Telamonio

I  agree with what Rikudou said would that make it better  .  

The Gondolier and The Sophisticated Duchess would make a quite a good story now like Scheherazade   .

I'd like to learn Latin someday. Its intricate but I love intricate things so...yeah! Someday I sure would

Btw I have just bought TG volume 1,2,3. It's awesome.
Therefore do NOT spoil it here. I am looking at you AHK and trang

  
Sweet! Wish I had likes! Where are you at so far? Who's your favorite character? I won't spoil it XD

Everyone(AHK) was saying how great it was all the time. So I thought maybe I should just buy and kill Everyone(AHK) later if I found out I wasted my money. Oh no it was a great investment.
NARUTO? What is that?

  
Lmfao, well, I'm mighty glad you're enjoying it then once the volumes come out in English planning on buying them, I'm also saving up for all the OP volumes as well.

OP and Tokyo Ghoul made me forget about Naruto lol I'm happy that OP stayed excellent and that I started reading TG. You should come join our thread once you've caught up!!!

tokyio ghoul sounds good. But after Naruto's ending I've lost a bit of passion for any manga (except OP right now).

It's really good. It's really dark, so it's a great contrast to OP. You should give it a try when you feel ready to.

Fullmetal Alchemist is one of the best shounen manga I have ever read. And the author is a she. Kishi loser. LOL

Latin is quite a dead language by now, despite it's being taught in some high schools. It's spoken only by the ecclesiastical class in the Vatican, some anciest researchers.

Yep...we got Greek...I remember that when we discovered it, handily in the middle of Greek class (we were translating the Medea), from the back of the class there was a cumulative and super loud strangled moan (con tanto di bestemmione). During the exam, when they gave us the 'versione' and we discovered it was from Plato we all pretty much wanted to kill ourselves.

I remember that when I saw Troy with Brad Pitt I had the impulse to table flip.  Favourite Character? Tersite was the only one with a bit of brains in there....but at the end of the day...Io tifavo per Ettore.

Golly! Good luck to you my man!  You are a brave person.

Aahahahha Troy... what a kitten of a movie. N'americanata 

Tersite uh? the one who jerked around the aristocrats and their wars for the power? I remember he wasn't a positive character in the Iliad.

No. I am learning it for my personal use I like it so I am learning it. I like Plato's scripts and some of the ancient mythology. Many of the transcripts are in Latin so.....I'd like learning it some day

@Lys
Ahaha Thank you very much I can and I will XD

No because there isn't a dumb love triangle or anything like Sasuke.

FMA was written by a woman, so no kitten sexist writing. ;)

Hey, got an article that I want to share, thanks to JP fan. Don't take it as a reliable source, but it's an article of a poster's opinion on the situation. I guess Japan really isn't polite as media tried to make you think.
