Latin
Latin (, or , ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages.

Latin is a highly inflected language, with three distinct genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), six or seven noun cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative, and vocative), five declensions, four verb conjuga ...
