    I find it fascinating how similar modern Italian is to medieval and ancient Latin. It seems that the other romance languages have diverged much more from their latin source (especially French but I guess this is because it has its origins in the langue d'oïl and not the langue d'oc). The germanic languages, especially English and German (my own language) have changed much more during the past centuries. Old English or Old High German are pretty much unintelligable to modern speakers, they are completely different languages.

To be fair, the standardisation process of New High German began quite early (in the 16th century).

    Como hispano parlante, me sentí más cómodo escuchando el latín, me pareció más similar a el Español a veces que el propio italiano. Pude entenderlos ambos muy bien debido a que he tomado clases de vocabulario italiano, y tambien por que usas un acento muy claro y entendible. Felicitaciones, eres un ser humano increíble.

    The Lady in the beginning was a joy to hear! As a Romanian, I understood 50 percent of the Latin, since I'm fluent in Italian, Portuguese and Spanish plus we had compulsory Latin classes in high-school . But boy, what I joy to hear it properly spoken... How I wish we had teachers like you back then.
    I actually had a time in my teens when I was attempting to read books in Latin, really not the best way to learn since the text was far too difficult and without proper references to modem life.
    Secretly, I still have a lot of love for old languages...

    Wait, we in Italy don't speak Latin, we can understand a lot of it, but speaking Latin is different. The point is that for us Latin is like (but I don't want to be disrespectful with the Old King) an old clothes, a one that however old and worn out you'd never throw away for it's part of you, of your identity, of your intimate history as human being, we may say that Latin is part of our soul and we not even know it is.

    This is a question somewhat unrelated (ok completely unrelated) to this video, but have you ever considered visiting anywhere else in the mediterranean region to see (& talk to us about) old roman ruins outside of Rome/Italy? There are roman ruins in places like Beit She'an (Israel) or El Djem (Tunisia) that are absolutely incredible.

    Have you ever tried, out of sheer curiosity, to read and investigate a little bit about early medieval Italian? The Placiti Cassinesi, the Saint Clement and Sisinnius inscription, the Veronese Riddle... All before the year 1000 and considered as the first examples of Italian language. It's fashinating, to notice how they still remind the latin roots, but they start to march toward the full medieval italian and then, the modern italian.

    This was a fun video. I am surprising myself with how much of the Latin I am able to comprehend. Same goes for the Italian. My first language is English, second is Spanish. I never studied Italian or Latin but I am able to figure most of it out. The subtitles in Latin actual help as I recognize the root word of the English or Spanish word and figure out the meaning. I have heard the Latin mass many times never thought I understood it. Maybe I learned more than I realized.
