Appareo Decet Nihil Munditia?

I have fallen in love.


With a language of astronomical proportions.
Latin.

Not only is it beautiful and exotic, but all the quotes are true and much more meaningful in that tongue.

No matter what they mean.

Aio, quantitas magna frumentorum est

Translation?
Yes, that is a very large amount of corn

Appareo Decet Nihil Munditia?

Is it not nifty?

Antiquis temporibus, nati tibi similes in rupibus ventosissimis exponebantur ad necem

In the good old days, children like you were left to perish on windswept crags

What a glorious language, indeed.
