Anyone speaks Latin?

Perhaps you meant 'Does anyone here speak Latin?' or 'I'm looking for anyone that speaks Latin' or something similar?

Vulgar or Classical ? Spoken Latin is a bit different to the classical written form.

 

[bronzeage]

The difference being?

Some Latin programs concentrate on text and grammar, without any real concern for pronunciation. The Latin words end up pronounced as if they were English words.

Other programs teach Latin pronunciation in the classical style, as Cicero would have said it in his orations.

Latin spoken by modern speakers varies significantly.

When Og was young, some of his classical Latin teachers had been trained under the old 19th Century version of spoken Latin which made this doggerel intelligible:

Caesar adsum iam forte
Pompey aderat

Kaiser had some jam for tea
Pompey had a rat.

Twentieth and twentyfirst century spoken Latin has softer consonants.

Actual translation is supposed to mean "Caesar, I am here by chance; Pompey was here."

To use your own words, it would be classical written form.

I only wish I paid attention in class when I was 7.
