Can these Italian reenators at a Mediaeval festival in Ceccano, Italy, understand Latin? Let's find out! In this video, I met several people ready to take the challenge! I did not coach these people prior to recording the video; their spontaneous responses to questions posed in Latin are genuine.

@untruelie2640 Год назад

I find it fascinating how similar modern Italian is to medieval and ancient Latin. It seems that the other romance languages have diverged much more from their latin source (especially French but I guess this is because it has its origins in the langue d'oïl and not the langue d'oc). The germanic languages, especially English and German (my own language) have changed much more during the past centuries. Old English or Old High German are pretty much unintelligable to modern speakers, they are completely different languages.

@jurgbangerter1023 Год назад

without adding 50% French Vocabulaire both German and English couldn't exist simply reading Beowulf does the trick...so during the 400 years of French occupation the Anglisch language became modern English same happened to German...most Germanics had no problem adapting more advanced Italian and Gallo Roman culture and language.

@lucadivezza3531 Год назад

Italian is a bit peculiar, it was never a language of the people, at the time of the unification, 1861 only 3 to a maximum of 10% could speak Italian in Italy.... That's why we are still able to read books written in the 12th century like "la divina commedia" how it was written then.

@untruelie2640 Год назад

@@lucadivezza3531 Interesting. German has a similar history, but it was much more widespread at the time of unification. To be fair, the standardisation process of New High German began quite early (in the 16th century). Except for some experts, almost nobody in Germany would be able to read texts from the early and high middle ages.

@jurgbangerter1023 Год назад

@@untruelie2640 German language was established by Martin Luther during reformation choosing the dialect around Bonn, Plattdeutsch and Holländisch used to be part of German written languages thats why perhabs you aren't able to read it..also the German aristocracy all spoke French and Primitive German to become functional needed at least 50% French Vocabulaire same as Anglisch before becoming English, Turkish has 50'000 French words to be functional...ridicoulos was when the Germans suddenly wanted to Germanize ven further French words in their Duden was stopped since nobody followed this stupidity calling Restaurants Restorants...BTW the Alt-Hochdeutsch from the Luther Bible is still spoke by Mennonites and Amish.in North America..the so called Penssylvanian Dutch is actually Deutsch.

The Catholic Church made a huge mistake, taking out the Latin. I hear so many younger people commenting how much they like Latin. There are Catholics going, for the first time in their lives, to a Latin Mass, and are in awe. Interestingly, I am far from being a "traditionalist," but there are certain things that have been traditionally the same for centuries, for many good reasons. It takes one group in one generation to change that forever?

They had to take down latin because they realized that people didn’t understand a word anymore, so it was kinda blasphemous to attend mass without truly comprehending the Lord’s word.

hey I have a question, you're the boss but I have always noticed that the verb "appello" is used very regularly in latin literature when one's presenting the name of something, why do u always use "mihi nomen est...." instead of the faster "appello..." which is more natural for all latin languages (I know romance languages cannot always be used as a credible source of latin speech because of the influences they went thought) and has been de facto used as a way for one to present himself? also the version "svm...." I adore your videos, specially when u speak classical latin and you are my biggest inspiration in learning latin. lingua aeterna est

I don’t speak any Latin language and English isn’t my primary language but it was fascinating to watch, thanks!

I'm a spanish speaker, back in 7-12 grade they gave Latin translation as an optative(which I picked) and compulsary philosphy too from grade 8-9 to 12, I'm really thankfull for it, Latin is the most beautifull language I know.

I'm currently crunching through LLPSI (after having memorised the inflection tables), currently in capitulum XV. Trying my best to ignore the English subtitles, I'm kinda starting to get the gist of the sentences (in Latin, not in Italian 😀). It is a wonderful feeling! Next time, would it be possible to put the subtitles in the actual RU-vid subtitles, so that it is possible turn them on/off?

All you have to do is pinch/zoom out on an iPhone and the Latin subtitles alone are visible.

@@ScorpioMartianus Clever, didn't think of that. Thanks!
