Please put a bit more effort into this :(

Unfortunately for you, The Romans, who invented the language of Latin, were from many countries in Europe including Italy. Also did I mention the capital of the empire was Roma which resided in Italy? -- other than Constantinople. So poop on you.

But Italy is not the Roman Empire. They are two completely different countries that just happen to occupy the same land. What you're saying would be if I took an American food dish and claimed it was of Apache origin just because they're on the same land, however many years apart.

And if you want to be really specific, the people of the capital (both Rome and Constantinople) most likely spoke more Greek than Latin, as Greek was the scholarly language, studied by the political elite. That would also explain why Latin didn't carry over into the Ottoman Empire - The high class Romans of the populated cities spoke and practiced Greek, not Latin.

You just proved to me how stupid a person can get.

Just because they are two separate countries, does not mean Rome didn't influence Italy in any way. Who built the buildings, the infrastructure, and the culture that resides in Italy? The Romans did. -- Also, the dish example in completely invalid. I am talking of a country that influenced a language upon another country. Italy uses the language of latin the same way the Romans did, if you make a dish that is completely different than how the Apache's did it, it is not the same thing. Yet, if you used the same materials, cooked it the same way, then yes you can pass the dish off as Apache.

Also, who cares what the scholars spoke? The language of the common people, Latin, was used by a much more massive population / slaves-farmers-etc. So therefore, of course latin would have a bigger influence than Greece. You are a dumb ****.

The Roman Empire influenced every western culture ever, your point is moot.

Influence =! the same. Most spoken languages today are influenced by Latin. Including, but not limited to Italian. Spanish for example. That's why they're called Romance languages.

No, Italy uses Italian. No one uses Latin the same way as the Romans because they used it as a commoner, low class language. No one today speaks Latin as a primary language.

The analogy
----
your head

Because you used the Roma example. The people of Roma were not slaves and farmers, they spoke and studied Greek and spoke Latin when they wanted to be hood.

The entire Roman Empire is a knock off of Greece. Nothing influenced them more than the Greek.

It must still be April first where you live.

Name it Emera and be remembered forever.

Haha! I lol'd

You are just thick-headed aren't you? The origin of the word is Italian and Latin correct? Well, in the public spectrum latin is a dead language -- meaning people still read and write it, just no one speaks in it (not enough people to count to be considered as being alive) So then the only other origin is Italian. I don't know why you feel the need to argue, maybe its because you like to argue over insignificant things. Vendetta is an ITALIAN word.

Going back on topic, like I had stated before, don't just pick random words that sound cool but do not correlate with the theme. Pick a title that actually makes sense and reinforces what the sever is all about.

Reamzonia
Delteria

Incorrect, it doesn't work like that. Latin is the origin. That's really all there is to say about that.

pretty sure 'vendetta' is Italian

It is, I just know I can drive a compelling argument even when I'm completely wrong.

So are you saying the word agriculture is not English? The word protest is not English? A lot of the words we use today are from Latin. Does that mean we have little to no words that we own? False. Vendetta is from Italy. Get over yourself. #youlose

It is Italian.

It means their origin is Latin #IwinmorethanCharlieSheen

Actually those are both Latin words as well.

A lot of "English" words are stolen from French, Latin and Greek. Before that Old English was almost entirely Germanic based. So the language we have today isn't just a natural progression from that, otherwise we'd be speaking German. Thusly the difference between German and English is all of those French, Latin and Greek words we stole, which is a hell of a lot of words.

Protest is from the Latin protestari.
Agriculture is from the Latin agricultūra.

Old English would not have been German today even if it never progressed. :P

A mod should prob divert this conversation to its own thread in the lounge. :]

I liked your old drawings better

lol I knew they were latin, thats what I was saying. He was saying that words had a latin origin, which was understandable. Agriculae (1st declention neuter) is a latin word yes, but that doesn't mean agriculture isn't an English word. It's an english word just with an inspiration from latin. Thats basically what vendetta is. An italian word that derived from latin woooo #letsendthis
