Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2

As I said, they cannot speak it, it's extinct. You can say stuff like: "Let us go to the Colosseum" or "May Jupiter bless you with a thousand victories", but there is too much of a gap in the vocabulary for it to be an effective means of communication.

How was VC btw? It's pretty damn small isn't it?

Latin is very speakable... I've taken it for years and used to be able to speak a fair amount of it. We have a large number of entire texts written in Latin. There's an entire subject dedicated to it, "Conversational Latin."

Of course, to modernize it scholars have had to invent some words, for stuff like "car" etc., but it's based off other root words following patterns the Romans implemented.

News to me. Didn't think they would bother. Apologies for assuming.
