If everyone wants to talk about women and football, thats fine with me.

looks like someone had too much sip sip one night

honestly...i forgot...i have always been interested in ancient Italian architecture (dont know if that is spelled right) becuase i am a structural engineer, so i guess that is it, and i am fascinated about how the culture of the ancient romans has effected all cultures today a great deal.

im am not so familiar with romanian, but from what i have heard the grammar also has slovic elements...but if slovic and latin were influencing eavh other it is hard to tell if it is really that different... while the structure might remain the same, the words do not, which means different conjugations, which is different grammar...i am not positive on this fact and my ideas are still developing...thank you for your input...happy new year.

Romanian unlike some people in these forums say might not be the closest to latin. It has gotten many slovic elements mixed in with its latin roots. French too has drifted away especially in pronunciation from the other romance languages, but not so much in writing. Spanish retained basque and arabic elements (from the Arabic takeover in the 1400s) so it is not the closest. So what is left? Italian, Portuguese and Sardinian/Sicilian dialects. The first of these (Italian) is widley believed to be closest to latin, but what about the last two? If you have any examples proving or disproving my theory i would be curious to see them, becuase i have been researching this topic and this is the conclusion i have come to.
