Animator Josh Rudder of NativLang draws from ancient rhetorician Quintilian and Virgil’s’ poetic meter to tell us what the Romans sounded like.
Latin is a language
As dead as dead can be;
It killed the Romans long ago,
And now it's killing me.
(BTW Latin was my favourite subject in high school and I still remember all the Latin words for "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer.)
