[stardude3396]

although i despise latin, this is a good movie

[Vojak3]

Does anybody have the lyrics of this song?

[stainglassfox]

@Vojak3 Terra, (something, sonds like "that which is right") It's the Earth. Terra Firma is the land in it's continental glory, it't the lines that define what is known as territory. Mountain tops and farm lands and dry dusty plains, representing features that exist in this terrain. Plates underground slide around, it seems spontaneous. These plates sorta sound like they might be subterraneous. Sub is under us, it's a water proof machine [continued]

[stainglassfox]

@Vojak3 It's just below the surface and it may be submarine. Submerged in the ocean, workin' out dispute; oxygen is limited and their is no substitute. A subliminal presentation, right before your eyes. Sub conscience assertion, it's too fast to recognize. When slowing down the speed one must increase the increment of time of frames replaced by a frame that's subsequent. Sequence of events, can easily be recognized when you realize a first is followed by a second. [Continued]

[stainglassfox]

@Vojak3 Sunglasses, inflatable ribber raft, it's terribly cold. That transition wasn't smooth, let's complain to the editor. You can't say it's a segue when it's just a non sequitur. Non is non luminous, non is non controversial, non my not be non symbolic non may not be non commercial. Come~~~~~~~~~~~~ together, composing visual and sound, computing files around as it furthers to compound.

(You're welcome :D)

[stainglassfox]

@Vojak3 Actually, the real ones are at their website. Under "latin alive"

[soyelcaido]

i´M fASCINATED ITS VERYGOOD, AND IT HAS A LOT OF MEANING

[cotswoldcharm]

That is well cool

[CazadorDeZopencos]

This retarded & resentful "Latin" American pretending to be a "redneck" already knows that Spanish (i.e. Castilian) is a language derived from Latin and has hardly anything to do with Arabic

[ProudConfederateMan]

Spanish is not a Latin language it is a Arabic creole language!

[Ideolipsia]

@ProudConfederateMan

what the hell are talking about?? spanish has also the latin greeting wich is "vale".. -_- i'm italian and i can easily understand all the spanish speech, i couldn't do it if there was an arabic language. Omg... -_-

[CDspartan21]

@ProudConfederateMan

HA

[shizzertainment]

This is insanely catchy..if my 7th grade english teacher played this in class I would have payed attention.

[r3bol]

Neat video. Kinda reminded me of the 70s :)

[ferrarama]

As a Latin teacher, I am impressed by your selection of significant roots; by the catchy music and clever lyrics (especially "segue-non sequitur"); and the production qualities. Bonam fortunam vobis!

[supersporkspank]

I feel compelled to tell you that English is a Germanic language, not a Romance language, but this is a brilliant film nonetheless!

[funkbrothaudig]

......

you know anything about etymology?

Yes this is a germanic language - the (that's why we are called anglo - SAXONS), but that doesn't mean many of the words do not trace a common lineage back to latin - the infusion of french into english since 1066 was rather unnoticed but had a profound impact on the depth and breadth of the english language. Latin or Greek influences have been effecting english since the BC when the greeks were trading with us for tin.....

anything else?

[supersporkspank]

I do know about the history of the English language, and I'm in the midst of reading Beowulf in Old English. Reading in Old English is quite a different experience from reading in Middle English or Modern English!

Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language provides excellent etymological information for each entry.

[supersporkspank]

The Germanic basis of English begins with the arrival of Angles, Saxons and Jutes to Britian in the mid fifth century; Pytheas' tin trade was irrelevant to all this.

Though a small number of Latin loan words had entered the Old English lexicon, the vocabulary of Old English was still overwhelmingly Germanic.

The Norman Conquest of 1066 did result in a large number of French loanwords into English, though Norman French had very little effect on the development of Meddle English grammar.

[supersporkspank]

French-influenced plural constructions in set expressions such as "surgeons general" still sound foreign to English speakers because these constructions were never accepted as a productive means for producing new constructions outside of these set expressions. The Germanic character of English grammar continues to assert itself.

[supersporkspank]

After the Norman Conquest, French had been imposed on the governing classes in England, and many writers who otherwise might have written in English chose to write instead in French or in Latin.

Despite all this, the majority of the country's population continued to speak English, and when English reemerged as an important literary language two centuries later, the vocabulary had become much more immediately recognizable to the Modern English reader.

[supersporkspank]

Literary Middle English shows enormous dialectic diversity, as the London dialect didn't become the standard dialect until the late fifteenth century.

The Renaissance also brought floods of ïnkhorn" words--loanwords primarily from Latin, but also from French and from Greek--into the Early Modern English wordstock.

[Nygle123]

@funkbrothaudig PWNED

[supersporkspank]

virDeiEtVirChristi, you are an idiot. If you can do better at explaining the history of the English language, then I challenge you to do so.

English is not, I repeat NOT a Romance language, but a Germanic language that throughout its history has accepted hoards of Latin words into its wordstock. The presence of Latin loanwords, even though these loanwords are great in number, do not change the fact that English is a Germanic language, not a Romance language.

[supersporkspank]

A case in point: the vocabulary of the Khmer language, an Austroasiatic language, has been influenced by an influx of Sanskrit loanwords to an extent comparable to that of the influence of Latin loanwords into the vocabulary of English.

Sanskrit is an Indo-European language, not an Austroasiatic language; nevertheless, an overwhelming number of Sanskrit loanwords into the Khmer vocabulary does NOT make Khmer an Indo-European language.

[supersporkspank]

Nor do these Sanskrit loanwords turn Khmer into an Indic language like Hindi or Bengali.

[supersporkspank]

Consider the phenomenon of plurals such as foot-feet, mouse-mice, tooth-teeth, man-men: this is a peculiarity of West Germanic languages, and it came about for purely phonetic reasons, namely that a penultimate syllabic back vowel became fronted in anticipation of the ending -i; this ending was lost, and the vowel change in the preceding syllable came to assume the significance of the original ending.

[supersporkspank]

We don't find this in Latin or any of the Romance languages, and these phonetic changes had nothing to do with the provenance of the words that were affected.

Even if the entire English wordstock had been loaned from Latin, this phenomenon still would have taken place because of the phonetic tendencies that English had inherited from West Germanic.

[VirDeiEtVirChristi]

I agree with you fully. I don't know what I was talking about lol. I apologize for any offense.

[supersporkspank]

Thank you, VirDeiEtVirChristi. I appreciate your apology, and I apologize for having called you an idiot.

[VirDeiEtVirChristi]

Apology accepted (:

[animallover5908]

touristpictures sucks ass

[HST004]

Well, you are entitled to your own opinion, animallover5908, but are you just voicing an opinion or just being an ass?

[007dawn]

If the vocals were louder one might be able to understand it.

[availableusername86]

40%-%60 of English comes from Latin through French.

[ARCANUSIMMOTUS]

One source say that 28.24 % of English vocab' comes directly from Latin, 28.3 from French, which is mostly from Latin but also loanwords appear from neighboring languages , 25 from old/middle English and old Norse and Dutch, then 5.32 from greek. So it must be closer to 60 %, though only about half came through French... maybe i should take French next semester? But I might skip Dutch.

[AdminiumWarrior]

@ARCANUSIMMOTUS Most of it comes from German. Something like 25%?

[Bidmartinlo]

Nice animation.

[platano214]

Spanish,Portuguese and Italian are more similar.. French is too but it's more evident in Writing hearing french will give the impression it's not apart of the Romance Langs.

[LilianaFan]

Latin origin = Italy

[Dyeuws]

Latin origin = Latium

[LilianaFan]

yeah which is in Italy

[p7811fx]

I like the oranges in this film it fits so well with the latin culture as they are all about oranges and selling them on a highway. Next time add some sombreros, lettuce fields, and a taco from taco bell and you got yourself the complete culture of all of Latinos.

[HyperBallistic]

I know you just want attention by being a dick, and I don't want you to have it...but...I...just...can't...­.......OMG YOUR SO FREAKING RETARDED!!!!

I'm ashamed :(

[platano214]

LMAO this is about Latin roots in the English language not about the Spanish language or Latinos(different from Spanish/spaniards)

[149bmX]

bmx149 . mybrute . com cool game

[BloomingWithJoy1]

Hmm, were they of people saying what a dumbass you were for posting spam? =o Shocker~

[Micr0Snip3]

[stephensamperi]

[Minatorious]

yes he is a child molester

[DescendeSexte69]

oh god i hate latin. my latin instructor is a child molester

[AndreasFilius]

And what it does with latin language? if your instructor is really a child molester, he must be imprisoned. Intead of blaming the latin or another languege, you must be courageous and face your shortcoming.

[1PostPoMoMaN1]

That IS funny.

[zingebar]

That was very cool.

I heart Latin!

[mishellymonster]

okay stefan i want your talent :)

[Zeppelin4962]

Haha, thanks! The first part makes me so happy because it satisfies the geography nerd part of me and the part of me that is fascinated with both Latin roots. I love comparing Germanic languages to each other!

[1PostPoMoMaN1]

Terra est altior quam infernum, in quo amor Dei non sit. (jocor)

[wtfwasthat16]

[xuany56]

but the english comes from others ruths like germans lenguages, the lenguages that comes from the latin are others like the french, spanish,italian,portuguese etc.

[msharp130]

English is a West Germanic language originating in England and is the first language for most people in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the Anglophone Caribbean. It is used extensively as a second language and as an official language throughout the world, especially in Commonwealth countries and in many international organisations.

[msharp130]

Historically English originated from the dialects, now called Old English, which were brought to England by Anglo-Saxon settlers, beginning in the 5th century. The language was heavily influenced by the Old Norse language of Viking invaders. The Norman conquest brought a stage called Middle English with heavy borrowing of vocabulary from Norman French and modernization of spelling conventions. Modern English continues to adopt foreign words, especially from Latin and Greek

[echosneeze]

reminds me of School House Rock!

[pftcat1]

Right on!

[MadSnowmen]

Well, there's not just that, there's: terra (land), sub (below), mare (sea), conscire (be conscious), sequi (follow), non (not), lumen (light), controversia (controversy) and some more that I missed.

[1PostPoMoMaN1]

Aqua - singular. Aquae - plural.

[platano214]

Aquae-Genitive singular.Aquarum-Genitive Plural

[soxeyer]

[kinksta24]

This is very existential, it begins with an exterior perspective of the Planet and ends with presumably Mr. Nadelman at his desk with his apple computer, his tool to creating this animated world. LOVE IT!

[touristpictures]

[fortherabbit]

Good times!

[cruisernet]

this seems like it could be shown in an educational show like the ones in pbs good for kids from 8 to 80
