The reason why there is Spanish:\n\nIn 133 B.C., consul Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus defeated the capital city of Numantia in what would be considered modern day Spain.  From this day forward, Numantia (Hispana) was considered a Province or Provincia, which is Latin for "for that Land conquored".  Roman soldiers were stationed in this area, but what is more, army veterans from Rome (a very crowded ancient city) were given farm land out in Spain.\n\nThis part of Europe was run continuously as Roman for hundreds of years and they spoke the same language as they did in Italy (Latinam).  The emperor Trajan came from Spain and ruled at Rome around the year 98.  Starting in the 4th century and developing into the 5th century, the Roman Empire began to weaken through poor rulers, a share in power between the Catholic Church and the imperial family, continuous barbarian invasions from the Germanic lands, and the occasional general who wanted to start a rebellion and become emperor himself.  The empire started to break up into smaller kingdoms such as the Franks (later to become France), the Ostrogoths (Germans who invaded and sacked Italy), The visgoths (more Frank and German people who settle all over the place), The Byzantines (The Eastern Roman Empire, which tried to take back as much land from the barbarians as they could), and many other smaller tribes.  (check out the article on the Suevi just to see how diverse the tribes of Spain were at this time).  This fragmentation and division according to new ethnic lines decreased communication between the former Roman provinces during a time known as the Antique Ages more commonly known as The Dark Ages.  While Roman Catholic priests continued to give mass and speak in Latin for centuries later, it was during this time when the language began to evolve.  By the Middle ages (10th century) it was found that most of the former Roman provinces were speaking a vernacular language that had some similarities to Latin, but had changed significantly.\n\nMany of the Latin words are unchanged such as casa, which is Spanish and Italian for house and Latin for "a house without a basement".  The Romans used Domus (where we get domicile) for an apartment made of stone with a basement.  Because most soldiers and settlers of Spain were typically not very wealthy, they were accustomed to living in single story shanties, hence the preference of the word casa rather than doma in Spanish.\n\nOther words are common between Vernaculars such as "si" (Spanish and Italian for "yes") and "sic", Latin for "thus" or "it is so".  Where the language differs could be explained by introduction of foreign words from Germans or Saracens, evolving seperately from the other Romance languages, or the original language pre-Roman times.\n\nCab drivers in Italy could understand me enough when I gave directions to them in Latin.\n\nThe term "Latin America" comes from the Spanish word Latino, which is what the people of Spain have called themselves for the last 2 thousand years.  First they were Latin, but the language evolved the word to Latino.\n\nI would recommend studying Latin in great detail.  After extensive study, you can pick up fluency in French, Italian and Spanish in as little as 6 months.

Beowulf (c. 700-1000 A.D.) is a heroic epic poem. At 3,182 lines, it is notable for its length in comparison to other Old English poems. It represents about 10% of the extant corpus of Old English poetry. The poem is untitled in the manuscript, but has been known as Beowulf since the early 19th century. In the poem, Beowulf, a hero of a Germanic tribe from southern Sweden called the Geats, travels to Denmark to help defeat a monster named Grendel. He later returns to Geatland, where he becomes king, and when he is old he kills a dragon and dies. Although dealing primarily with Scandinavian matters, the work has risen to such prominence that it is sometimes called "England's national epic".

Notable is Iambic Pentameter- each line has 10 syllables, with emphasis on every other one.  Also, his dialogue is witty, full of double meaning and puns, and rapid fire:\nHere's the opening of Romeo and Juliet:\n  Sam.  Gregory, o’ my word, we’ll not carry coals. \n  Gre.  No. for then we should be colliers.   4\n  Sam.  I mean, an we be in choler, we’ll draw. \n  Gre.  Ay, while you live, draw your neck out o’ the collar. \n \nLots of wordplay.\n\nAlso, obviously, he wrote in Elizabethan english.

Mine was English...until the only thing we were allowed to study was Shakespeare, then it got sort of ludicrous. It was a very long time before I could read Shakespeare again.

Ulysses is a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson, written in 1833 but not published until 1842. It is narrated by an aged Ulysses (the Latin form of Odysseus) who has become dissatisfied with his life as king of Ithaca. Ulysses had spent years fighting the Trojans (as described in the Iliad) and trying to return home (which is the subject of The Odyssey); but now that his journey is complete he feels restless and yearns to get back out into the world.\n\nMatch'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole\n\nUnequal laws unto a savage race,\n\nThat hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.\n\nHe declares his intent to leave the throne to his son Telemachus ("He works his work, I mine") and gather up all of his old sailors for one final voyage:\n\n... my purpose holds\n\nTo sail beyond the sunset, and the baths\n\nOf all the western stars, until I die.\n\nIt may be that the gulfs will wash us down;\n\nIt may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,\n\nAnd see the great Achilles, whom we knew.\n\nTho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'\n\nWe are not now that strength which in old days\n\nMoved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,--\n\nOne equal temper of heroic hearts,\n\nMade weak by time and fate, but strong in will\n\nTo strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.\n\n:>peace

The Loeb Classical Library publishes reasonably priced volumes of ancient texts in Greek and Latin.  I've placed a link to the Virgil volumes (2 volumes, containing the Eclogues and the Georgics as well as the Aeneid) available at Amazon.  You might want to check powells.com and abebooks.com for used copies.\n\nYou usually won't find the Vulgate for much under $50 anywhere, but Powell's currently has a used one for $30.  If you're interested, you might want to get it quickly.\n\nIf you only need a Latin New Testament, you can get one relatively cheaply.  The third link is to a good Latin NT available through Amazon.\n\nBest wishes!
