Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Latin (lingua lătīna, pronounced [laˈtiːna]) is an Italic language originally spoken in Latium and Ancient Rome. With the Roman conquest, Latin was spread to countries around the Mediterranean, including a large part of Europe. Romance languages, such as Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, and Spanish, are descended from Latin, while many others, especially European languages, have inherited and acquired much of their vocabulary from it. It was the international language of science and scholarship in central and western Europe until the 17th century, when it was gradually replaced by vernacular languages. From Wikipedia under the

It was not until I started using Wheelock's Latin textbook that I really felt I was learning anything. It's the most widely used Latin textbook (especially in colleges). The book consists of 40 chapters covering almost everything, from basic vocabulary and cases to complex sentence structure and deponent verbs. Once you have "finished" learning the grammar (which is never entirely possible), I would highly recommend Wheelock's Latin Reader, as it contains actual works from the Vulgate, Pliny the Younger and Cicero. Translating and reading actual Latin texts is the best way to reinforce what you've learned. A basic, fundamental understanding is key.
