Latin Area for Cantr

[trage]

I was wondering if anyone wanted to start a Latin Area for Cantr? The current requirements for starting a language area are.....

- You need four players to participate in the Language Area.
- You need someone willing to advertise the Language Area to more people. (can be out of the four)
- You need someone who will translate the site and be the offical translator for the language (can also be out of the four)

So far we have three players, and I would gladly do the second and third, but I doubt I could advertise it as well as some people.

And if anyone wants to learn Latin, Judith has a website that teaches it. http://www.learnlatin.tk/ So go there if you want to learn Latin and join the area.

Do any of you know Latin well enough to compose a grammatically correct sentence for that matter?

Pig Latin's far easier. lol Sorry, don't know Latin.

Yes but a Language Area for that won't be starting anytime soon. Learn Latin at Judith's website .

I'd like to finnish learning the languages I already started to learn, better, before I pick up a fourth. (And for pete sakes, I don't even know English as well as I should. )

[Surly]

Hmm... I might actually be interested in a Latin area. Next semester I'm taking a Latin module (to try and refresh my Latin language abilities which have lapsed slightly in the past 1 or 2 years), so a Latin area could well help.

Yes, I'd be interested. Does that give you 4 people?

Yes it would , would you like to advertise the Latin Language area anywhere? If not I will. Not that I wasn't going to anyways <.<.

Ah, part of the fun of latin is that it rarely matters which order you put the words in the sentence... as long as you use the right endings. But there's still guidelines to word order as well.

I might be a fifth player.

But we tried to get that No-RL-language area set up, and a lot more than four were interested. It still didn't get anywhere.

[Pirog]

Although I really don't mind if a latin area gets started I do think the chances for it to ever grow big is very small...I don't know how much effort is behind starting up a new area, but there are many interesting features I would like them to concentrate on instead.

[Solfius]

really all it amounts to is a new island, and granting privileges to translate the game pages etc, so not much effort at all beyond actual translation and promotion

[Pirog]

Well, then you should just go ahead!

[Surly]

You know the more I think about this, the more it appeals to me.

However, it signals a return to the days of having a massive vocab sheet on my wall *sighs*

I could probably explain that, Jos is only making real life Languages, and he doesn't want too many languages, that is why I posted this topic, I need more people because to actually convince him this is possible it needs more support. Oh and how would you translate the No-RL-Languages machines, resources and such.

[Jos Elkink]

Trage, it seems you found enough support ... I suggest we start with translating and once we have enough translated, we'll open an island for Latin. You should apply for the languages department using the normal procedure and in the meantime I'll enable translation to Latin.

And Pirog, the no-RL-language is really a more problematic idea where the basic rules of language areas do not apply. I'm still not sure how that should work properly - but lets not discuss it on this thread ...

[Revanael]

I think that was addressed at me, not Pirog...

[trage]

Does anyone else want to play in the Latin area, just because we have enough to start it doesn't mean that we don't need more people . As the saying goes, the more the merrier.
