latin resources
Everyone encounters Latin words, phrases, expressions, or acronyms
at one time or another. Those without Latin training have two

reference such as a Latin-English dictionary, which can be
inconvenient, cumbersome, and distracting.

offers you a number of Latin resources that can help
you any time and
anywhere you need to look up a Latin reference. The Muse sincerely hopes that the Latin resources you find at this
feature will help mitigate these discomforts.

why latin?
Latin may be hard to learn; it may be technically classified as a dead
language; but it is still pervasive and important. Why?
Latin is the source of living and modern Romance languages—French,
Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Rumanian, Provençal, Catalan, Rhaeto-Romanic,
Sardinian, and Ladino. And beyond that, Latin is the root and origin of an
amazing number of English words and words in other non-Romance languages.
Knowing a little Latin can help you navigate English and will earn you no
few mileage points in these other languages, as well.
Many feel that Latin is interesting in its own right, even for non-scholars—interesting linguistically as well as culturally. In addition
to its "romantic charms," knowing a
little Latin can help you in many everyday, practical ways—homework,
general reading, literature, poetry, crossword puzzles, medical
prescriptions, legal terms, history, the classics, liturgical, and more. And Latin
mottos and slogans are still very much with us.
