[QUOTE="Kalevalatar, post: 75282207, member: 116770"] Oddly enough, Latin language was very much alive here in Finland (of a entirely different language branch) up until last year, when the world's one and only classical Latin language weekly news programme, [URL='https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/yle_ends_latin_news_service/10844261'][I]Nuntii Latini[/I][/URL], was discontinued after 30 years on the air. Some 40,000 people regularly tuned in to the five-minute Friday evening bulletin on Yle Radio [I]("Radiophonia Finnica Generalis")[/I] and online, many from outside Finland and reportedly, with listeners even from the Vatican. A "dead" language, Latin was still declinable to report from the most historic catastrophies of our modern times: the Estonia ferry disaster, the Twin Towers in New York, and the Indian Ocean tsunami.
