    Latin, but it's dead language, we don't know how to pronounce a lot of words they used.

    They did give us a lot of clues though, so I think reconstructed Classical Latin is almost exactly how it was

    We can "assume" but we can't be 100% sure, I appreciate the effort but still...

    My sister learned Latin after she academically earned her place into a Grammar School, along with High German. Although Latin is a dead language, many Latin words are still preserved and used in science, medicine, and law.

    Here's one of my favourite bands (they're a gothic and neoclassical band from Austria) singing in authentic Latin. I'd also like to learn Latin like my sister did.
