“One of the foundations of European civilisation is the Latin language. It was once the common lingua franca of many learned circles. Should we promote its study and reintroduction? @Sacr_Imperium, @neolatyno, and friends, what do you think? Can Twitter help revive the Latin language? #LatinWednesday” I also think Latin is a fantastic choice as it has been the most important European lingua franca in arts, sciences, administration, literature, and diplomacy for millennia. Although, Classic Latin as written between the 1st cen. BCE and the 1st cen. CE is indeed too complicated, irregular, and cumbersome to efficiently compete with the American economic lingua franca of English; which still requires years of study to master, both oral and written, but that has the huge advantage of being already in full use in media and institutions. That’s why we should: • Keep teaching and using English as an informal “world common language”, while simultaneously • investing in #interlingua (ISO: ia), a simplified and modernised standard for Neolatin that is immediately accessible to millions of Europeans and a billion people on Earth, while keeping our longstanding tradition of using Latin as a shared communication tool among us. The two languages can act in unison as a working tool for immediate information-sharing across current language barriers, and at the same time give us a clear European identity, that English alone cannot provide being a global instrument. Of course, alongside Germanic and Latin families, we could also use a third #Interslavic language following the Swiss multilingual system, in order to also reach the very large Slavic family, the other major group in Europe. In conclusion, together with our already locally used national languages, on a European Union level i am open to have a three-space system in which Germanic, Latin, and Slavic families (~93% of Europeans) are addressed directly in papers, laws, media, and everyday paneuropean affairs. Rules and regulations on the use of each language can be discussed and approved before implementation of the proposal. If this tripartite system seems too complex, i would still have the standard language called Interlingua or Neolatin or Modern Latin as the official lingua franca, and English as an informal working language.

Slavery is bad? Not for everyone. Look at the results of the UN GA voting on the relevant Resolution. See which countries don't support it and ask yourself why? Colonial way of thinking is still in their minds. #400years #Slavery #freedom
