Latin Derivatives

[rRosuGalbenAlbastru]

vulgar latin and todays neo-latin languages(spanish, romanian, portugese, french, italian) sounds so very different from any other group of languages, be it indo-european or not. the rythm of a language would set most of the boundaries. you can't claim that germanic languages such as english uses up words of latin origin, cause that's just dump.VIVENS SIBI CREDE; where in the name of God, do you find any similarity with the english translation? vivens? living? give me a break.

[seheart]

HOLY SHIT!! IS THERE A GOOD LATIN VIDEO OUT THERE!?! ALL OF THESE VIDEOS FUCKING SUCK!

[kakosuranosx]

Cool video!

[future9mm]

german are not latin frence italy spain are latin stupid

[fortisKID]

I learned from my Latin teacher that English does NOT derive directly from Latin, it actually comes from a language similar to German. Although a long time ago, when developing new English words they began using Latin and Greek roots but English already existed long before that time, it just wasn't spoken exactly the way we do now.

[randombrazilianguy]

you're absolutely correct.

German, English and all other germanic languages derive form Proto Germanic.

English has only 'borrowed' words from Latin.

[kawaienvy123]

English Borrowed words from French not Latin , most of latin based words of English are French variantes!

[fortisKID]

even if your right, French came from latin so your basically saying the same thing.

[kawaienvy123]

French came from Latin , but French is actually a language of its own.....so no , for example the english word "to change" came from the french verb "changer" but the latin word for "changer" is quite different!

[olbodala]

@kawaienvy123 Right...and wrong.Yes French is a mix between latin and celt/german(40%-60%),but Italian was influenced too(much less obviously).However,French language stay a romance language in this structure.

After,it's clear that French people are mostly of celtic(gaulish) and germanic roots(frankish,wisigoth,norman­dish) and a little bit iberic/ligurian/italic(roman settlers).

[IsCumaFut2]

why are people competing in this no one knows how the languages evolved, they just did. we can all guess but it does not matter its the way it is.i find it very disturbing that people have historical facts about languages. they are only languages and the yall influenced each other i believe with all the different tribes fighting each other. if it were up to me there'd be no borders and everyone just shake hands and think of the future. we cannot go back

[alien53XF13Nd]

why do people somehow believe that celts are the superior caucasians, I get this all the time from white fanatical dick heads who somehow seem to think that anglo saxons are the superior people of euorope, when infact only greeks and romans during those times, were wooping their asses at that time, not only because they were superior in man power but also because they had superior weaponry, which the anglo saxons hadn't any at the time.Infact the anglo saxons at that time were  barbarians......

[NorthwesternerGuy]

English derived from Latin? o_O

English is a GERMANIC language. Since Germanic languages are poor on lexical grounds and also unlearned, it needed to take a lot of words from Latin and Greek throughout history. They're just loan words because Old English was extremely poor as regards lexicon like any other Germanic language.

English doesn't derive from Latin.

[zygo144]

English is poor in lexicon because it is a pidgin language, mixed from latinised celtic, germanic and french. That's why they needed to "import" words. Look at the Dutch language; it has many words very similar to english because it is closely related to it, being a frisian language. However, it is quite foreign to the english because of its germanic word roots. The same goes for German, they have their own german words for stuff. Latin came into popular language in the 19th century.

[zygo144]

(continued) Talking of pidgin languages; let's take a look at the Caribbean pidgins. Because they evolved from the slaves' native languages and the masters' english/french they incorporated elements from all in a simiplified way. The same stands for english; it had a case system before the norman invasion which it lost through integration of the two languages.

I am willing to debate this.

[kawaienvy123]

No , zygo144

English is mostly Germanic , grammatically and structurally

It has got although a high romance vocabulary (from old French and classical Latin).

otherwise , 'celtic" is not a base of the english language and not even a big influence!

[zygo144]

A third point; English derives from latin in two ways; first from the romanised/latinised celtic population speaking a provinical version of the language and the french language, being an evolution of the latin language.

[faltsda]

I can see there is a lot of confusion amongst you guys, as i read what you re saying.I recommend that the only way to know about the true linguistic history of your nations is to teach yourselves a natural language.Then you ll start understanding the history of the words you re blurring out as well as their meaning, and stop (at a considerable degree) believing in self devised demons..Good luck.. And please, try to read between the lines of books and dictionaries.

[faltsda]

How about the Russian language??all greek letters, same scenario that happened with the Germans, the Russians moreover converted to christianity(orthodoxy) because of the byzantine greeks. They established an alliance that reformed their culture. I apologize for mixing the dates! The latter took place at the 10th century A.D. where the cultural exchange with the germans happened during the 12th century A.D.

[faltsda]

German at the time could not make a distinction between "noun" and "verb".It was again reconstructed according to Greek, thats why they have identicall grammatical structure, for those of you that know..Again if it wasn't for Greek, German would not be today such a respected language,which it is!

[faltsda]

Oh my goodness, i just read some comments above and i need to add up something more! as for the German language, it is indeed a separate branch in the categories of languages.But how did it develop in the first place?Well the answer goes back to at around 1000A.D. when the German king Otto established an alliance with the "Eastern Roman" or "Byzantine" empire.

[faltsda]

They Immitated(or i should say"tried to immitate") language,religion,political systems and organization,Arts etch.Its good to KNOW(=γνοω,check this last word, by curiosity..)

Also check the word "humor"(=χυμωρ=χυμος).How about the latin alphabet?Well that too was derived from the ancient greek "chalkidean alphabet", a version not used widely by the Greeks.Thats why they are so similar..a,b,c,d,e..with..α,β,­γ,δ,ε..

[NorthwesternerGuy]

The words you provided are just indo-european common words.

Compare: corazón (Spanish) vs heart (English) vs kardía (Greek)

c /o/ r (a)/z... ón

h /ea/r /t

k /a/ r /d... ía

The change of sounds is the same: throat consonant + back vowel + liquid r + dental consonant.

[NorthwesternerGuy]

I meant "chain of sounds".

[faltsda]

Yes if i employ your chain-logic then i would find synonyms among all languages of the world..i m sorry but it is silly.

[faltsda]

there is no indoeuropean thing, it is a concept that academic communities devised and use so that they don't have to constantly revise and eventually rewrite-reprint their history books (that sell trillions of dollars-its a huge market u know..)Don't fall for this crap. Just listen to the words you brought up...they are COMPLETELY different sounds...I

[faltsda]

Bravo!good work.But, what about latin itself?was it always a such a rich language vocabularywise?The answer is no. A great number of essential concepts was incorporated into latin from Greek.The Roman Gods themselves where reflections of the Greek analogous deities.The romans developed their imperium based upon the Greek culture.

[netwolf]

As much as I appreciate a young person doing a video like this I have to say one thing: What is with English speakers leaving out the 'T' in Latin??? Same as with a name like Martin. The 'T' is totally left out and it ends up sounding like some sort of ghetto slang.

[emzademon]

@netwolf because English is a broken language and its using a superior alphabet known as the Latin alphabet and not using it's old crappy Anglo-Saxon runes

[hangeonos]

Romanian 7 april 2008 Libertatea Jornal poblished the fact that in Romania you find the first onderground water pipe network in the World,made 7200 years ago.Reading Dr.Lucian Iosif Cuesdean books you find by clicking the Google on his name you'll see that Romanian is the first language of Europe and Latin or Romance languages are its derivates.

[deustomola]

appunto...

[JusPrimaeNoctis]

Latin has been the universal language of the western civilization for almost 2000 years. Currently you are writing with Roman alphabet, all the scientific english terms are named in latin as well as the gregorian calendar.Same is for music (notation and writing method) in a few words it can be said that mainly every field of today's knowledge depends somehow from it. This is an incontrovertible truth, do not disown your roots, also stop studying history on B-movies people.

[G4774C4]

Quebeq, too is LATIN AMERICA?

[kawaienvy123]

W was the letter created for pronounced "v"

Y is Use in french

J is the majuscule of "i"

and Z is use in french as well

[kawaienvy123]

i love very much RomE city

very beautiful city you have got

[kawaienvy123]

Gauls were colonized by Romans

Gauls include west-germany,Belgium,France and North Italia

France was born under the germanic Franks ,

The civilization of france is frankish (germanic as germany , england etc.)

the language is latin like (spanish italian etc.)

Your ancestors? You are roman?

[pauletfromcallao]

???? francia es uno de los iconos de la cultura de latinoamerica, con los cuales tiene un nexo por la latinidad..ahora resulta que es germanica??? rabelais, montaigne,corneille,moliere,vo­ltaire,antole france,hugo,mallarme...represe­ntan la cultura germanica???..por que escribes estupideces?

[kawaienvy123]

Yes french alphabet , England was colonized by Normans people , who were french

[kawaienvy123]

english uses french alphabet who comes from roman one

[kawaienvy123]

They were transcribed with roman alphebet

from runes to roman alphabet =D

[kawaienvy123]

German is a germanic languages as well as english,dutch ,norwegian,swedish

polish is a slave language as well as russian , ukranian etc

only spanish , italian french and portuguese corsican language derive from latin

[kawaienvy123]

English derives from Old Anglo-saxon languages and Old French language (Norman)

[LONGINO85]

I lemmi inglesi, tra i più numerosi in assoluto, sono il risultato della sincresi tra il latino e il germanico. L'influenza latina è inconfutabile, l'etimologia delle parole inglesi lo conferma chiaramente.

[LONGINO85]

La lingua italiana è la diretta prosecuzione derivata dal latino volgare a sua volta derivata dal latino letterario. Per esempio la lingua italiana è l'unica che rispetta la regola della vocale breve prima della consonante lunga. La lingua francese è stata maggiormente contaminata.

[LONGINO85]

La parola TENSE deriva dalla parola latina TEMPUS, perciò pornostar001 ha totalmente ragione. La lingua francese è la meno simile al latino, sia per fonetica che per grammatica. Ricordo che l'alfabeto francese non è fonetico ma etimologico

[pornostar001]

The English word "tense" comes from Latin "tempus", so before talk about people and languages lets start for reed more about our own language..... french is not celtic french cames form latin and that's a fact

[kawaienvy123]

but not all , many regions in France have many germanic dialects

and some Have celtic ones

[kawaienvy123]

english has a lot of FRENCH ROOOTS

[pornostar001]

Romanian,Italian,Spanish,Portu­guse,French are Romance languages, also called Romantic languages or New Latin languages.. all the languages that descend from Latin, the language of ancient Rome,even English and German have a lot of words form latin also polish and rossian ,almoust every language have some ,The English word "tense" comes from Latin "tempus", so before talk about people and languages lets start for reed more about our own language.....

[kawaienvy123]

words "tens" come From old french "temps" in french "temps " is pronounced "ten"(s)

[chrjlaz]

The reason that English isn't considered a Latin language is because English started out as a Germanic language but then over the years of the Roman Empire it was greatly influenced to have many Latin derived words. But Romanian,Italian,Spanish,Portu­guse and French started out as Latin in their respective areas and then were influenced by local people who spoke their native languages.

[kawaienvy123]

most of english words come from French , but french is jsut a derived of Latin , has have a strongly germanci and celts influences

so english isnt LAtin But GALLIC

[Emasgem]

But what hell you saying??? Only Irish, Welsh and Scottish (Gaelic) are celtic languages!!!! Celtics have very few to do with English, a germanic-latin language.

[kawaienvy123]

most of words of english come form anglo-sawon and french normans languages

all french words are call "gallic"

(france=gaul,land of frank, history)

[kawaienvy123]

english DONT HAVE 60% of word derived from latin

english have 30% of words from latin

30% other from french , but french is just an derivated , and is different and very germanized than latin

[hispanicuscorpus]

i though the only language derive from latin are italian,spanish,portuguese, french and romanian,,,,,,,,why it is that the anglo(english, German) trying to clain latin root,,when they fought the roman and avoid being romanized?

[romanthemes]

check out what other people have commented. The Latin language spread throughout the Roman empire, and even to places beyond.

[JusPrimaeNoctis]

Latin has been the universal language of the western civilization for almost 2000 years. Currently you are writing with Roman alphabet, all the scientific english terms are named in latin as well as the gregorian calendar.Same is for music (notation and writing method)in a few words it can be said that mainly every field of today's knowledge depends somehow from it.

[schrire39]

English is not descended from Latin (as stated in the video) It has been influenced by and borrowed much vocabulary from it (via the Romans, the Church and ultimately and most notably, the French Normans) English remains in structre and ancestry a Germanic language. There is no hierachy and English is no more "descended" from Latin than all languages were once thought to be "descended" from Hebrew.

[kawaienvy123]

modern english is not from latin but germanic and old french

[schrire39]

er, that's what I said. but English is not "from" Old French rather it is heavily influenced by and has borrowed much of the vacabulary of Old French. But in structure English is clearly a Germanic language evidenced by, eg, the use of modal verbs to express the future tense (ie: no "future tense"), the use of non-cojucating modal verbs such as "must" and "can" etc, so called "strong" Germanic verb (eg: I sing, I sang, it was sung)

[kawaienvy123]

yes,i think its germanic , just the influence of the old french was strong ,very strong like "influence" is from the old french "influence" "influcencable" ^_^ i know ,

[kawaienvy123]

french too in the structure its a romance language but it influenced by the germnic language[franks] because clearly french poeple are in the base germanic and celtics [and some latins just in the south]people who are speak a latin language , but if u see good french doesnt sound like spainish or italian but like a germanic languages because of the accents and the prounociations : like "r" is prounoced like in german .

[Emasgem]

France was one of the most "romanized" land of the empire. Franks simply adopted latin. Italian Spanish and French are TOTALLY latin language since their grammatical structure is very similar. A germanic language as English has a differnt structure, but similar words. The pronunce of some letters is different in everycountry you go. This doesn't make French a Germanic (or celtic...) language.

[kawaienvy123]

Grammatical structure of italian spanish and french dont come from latin , but Vular latin , way of speaking more simple

many french structure are celt or germanic

ex:

'j'ai fini" "i have finish" is a germanic structure in french "nous allons" "we go" , "ons" is a term use in celts gallic foro say "we"

there are many other , no it's not make french a germanic or celts language , but it's can proove the great influence

[kawaienvy123]

France , was gallic , then france became roman , then france became germanic , then france became french by own

Franks were /121156164654 of the germanic tribes who came in France , franks are famous cause they were the most powerful,they adopted gallic-romance language ( a language spoke by celts in France) almost all germanic in France mixed with celts (gallic)

and adopted romance languages of France

[kawaienvy123]

this verbs come from the languages of "angle" and the "saxon" who are germanic poeple

[romanthemes]

VIVENS SIBI CREDE would work. crede is an imperative; credere uses the dative case after it; vivens is a participle in the present tense.literally - while living, trust yourself.

[1d10cy]

PS. is it just me or is the new youtube comments system not as effective as the previous one?

[1d10cy]

does anyone speak Latin here? If so what would be the translation of IN LIFE TRUST ONLY YOURSELF. Ive came accross IN VITA FIDES TANTUM VESTRI. & IN VITA TANTUM SPERA IN TE. & IN VITA SPERA IN TE SOLO. please help, thankyou.

[canon028]

yeah, in vita spera in te: In life, hope/trust in only yourself. the solo obviously adds the meaning: alone. uhhh when Romans gave imperatives (especially in public speaking) they spoke as if addressing many people, and so the plural imperative is needed. vivens sibi credETE or in some rare cases vivens sibi crederete would be acceptable as well. nice video.

[1d10cy]

Thank's, but I have found this one since then:

NI HUMANIS CREDE

[romanthemes]

is NI  a Latin word?

[1d10cy]

It must be part of the language, because Ni humanis crede means TRUST NO HUMAN

[MortemDesino]

It should be Ne (N E-macron) not NI, as NE means or no one [something-or-other that can be accusative or genitive.]
