Cannot wait for this amazing summer light. I'm wearing a traditional ukrainian modern vyshyvanka blouse, a vintage tradition ukrainian apron and traditional French skirt from southern France I thrifted at a flea market. These skirts are made out of ten meters of fabric minimum ! The fabric is handmade and hand dye in France. It's always great to wear traditional stuff from my own country, even though I'm more drawn to slavic folkloric clothing.

Latin and latin languages

So, in many many books we see latin, right? And it is, mostly, ununderstandable. Since, well, latin is a dead language, and no one use dead languages.

It is nice to use in fantasy settings, in my opinion. And I also thought in an interesting (?) thing lately: Bilingual characters and latin.

Specifically, characters who speak French, Portuguese, Spanish, Romanian, Galician, Provencal, Catalan, Sardinian (a dialect) and Italian. Specially italian and sardinian.

Why? Well, these are latin derived languages. That makes them way more alike with latin than English, for example.

Cute Latin terms, like "vita mia" (my life), "sol et luna" (sun and moon), and so on, I don't remember many right now, are completely off of English, but for a Portuguese speaker, they are easily understandable!

Vita mia (my life) -- Minha vida

Sol et luna (sun and moon) -- Sol e lua

Specially if they speak italian: Since, well, Italy used to be Rome, and they used Latin there before Italian popularized.

I'm not sure of why Sardinian is even more alike with latin, but well, it seem like it is.

So, a latin-american or someone who speak any of these Latin derived languages would have way more ease to understand latin things in your book

So, yeah, just thoughts.
