Latin’s stability makes it unique among languages still in use. Although centuries ago its grammar and vocabulary became essentially frozen (thus earning the designation “dead”)... No ebonics and other bad grammar being passed off as "new slang" or dialect?

My tagline is in Latin, so I couldn't resist posting to this thread.
Asperges me, Domine, hysoppo, et mundabor; lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.

I don't remember much of the one year of Latin I took as a sophomore.....but, I'm the one who can ALWAYS decipher word meanings/definitions in our family, and I believe it is because of that BASE, and probably because I've always been a READING Freak.

On the other hand, some might say that it continued to evolve like a normal language, until its dialects turned into French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian.

My eldest had Latin class in middle school, and loved it - and picked up the nickname, "the Latin lady" there. She made Phi Beta Kappa with a major in languages in college.
