Reanimating the old Latin.

Why not reanimating the old Latin instead of promoting Interlingua or Esperanto?

Latin influenced so much the Anglo-Saxon language group (English the most), before diluting in numerous Neo-Latin Languages:

Daco Romanian language

Macedo Romanian language
Megleno Romanian language

There is no doubt that Latin is the main ingredient in most if not any Indo-European languages…

So, why are we creating imaginary languages (Interlingua, Esperanto, etc) instead of reanimating Latin, a real language? Latin is a solid foundation for most Germanic languages, influencing the Slavic languages and the Big-Bang for the Neo-Latin languages…

=>There is no doubt that Latin is the main ingredient in most if not any Indo-European languages… + Latin is a solid foundation for most Germanic languages<=

If latin would be a solid foundation for Germanic language they would be called romance languages.

* Some "languages" are just a subordinate variety of a main language

"a solid foundation" as in Latin loanwords ...Sander

Then you have to clearly state that ... Romanian.Because a foundation means that its at the beginning the starting point,people could easily think of core vocabulary if you say "foundation",so state moreit more clearly and avoid these kinds of things.You also said this : "There is no doubt that Latin is the main ingredient in most if not any Indo-European languages" I guesse you mean that in a different way too? :/

guesse = guess

Well,

English has been called a Germanic language with a Romance vocabulary. Estimates of native (Anglo-Saxon) words in English range from 20%–33%, with the rest made up of foreign borrowings. A large number of these borrowings are Latinate, coming directly from Latin.

Although this isnt the theme...

=>A large number of these borrowings are Latinate, coming directly from Latin. <=

No,not so many words in the English language come directly from Latin,most of the words come from (Norman) French.(thus from Latin,but not directly)

I guess Latin is indeed a foundation, for English at least.

Latin was a difficult language. Esperanto and Interlingua were designed to be easy enough for anyone to learn.

In terms of loanwords it is.

Sorry, I tend to use a metaphoric style in my writings…

Please consider : “Ingredient”, “or solid foundation” as Loan-Words

does anyone know the % of Latin in English ?

Just curios !

Someone,

Greco-Roman : 65 %.
French : 30 %. Latin : 30 %. Greek : 5 %.

Germanic : 25%.
Old Norse + Dutch + Old English + Middle English : 25 %.

85 % of original Old English wordstock is said to have disappeared.

These figures are controversial estimates : 'Germanisants' will tell you the percentage of Germanic words is higher than 25 % while 'Latinisants' will tell you 'their' share is higher than 2/3.

"Greco-Roman : 65 %. French : 30 %. Latin : 30 %" makes English a Romance language !!!!!!!!
