Why the fetish for Latin?

Our country speaks English, although with some quirks.

The Adrian Empire as a vast federation of cultures speaks a wide variety of language; many alien, some not even verbal. With the advent of universal translators most language training is focused on writing and reading, where translators are not effective, though many still prefer to learn the languages for the purpose of clarity which is often lost in universal translators, which work upon a principle of limited scale telepathy, instantly transmitting the general idea of the phrase from one mind to the other, no different then speaking simple supplementing it with a guaranteed understanding.

Saying that there are two official languages in the Adrian Empire; English and Latin, English is the lingua franca in the majority of the Adrian Empire and most of it's client states. Latin is mostly Literary

Socio-cultural Equivalents..

Postby Provident Nation » Tue Apr 20, 2010 3:03 am

Mainly that are country is composed of literate,upper class citizens, We tend to speak British and American English, French and Latin while Asian languages are auxillary languages except Filipino in which it is our main language. Pacific languages are spoken by some communities with foreign-born citizens while Arabic is an elective in secondary education. Foreign dignitaries are often encourage to speak Filipino and all forms of media translated to Filipino while in the highly urbanized areas we tend presume on making subtitles on it to promote a certain nationalism on our folks.
