In today's lecture, we'll get to know one of the most ancient languages and even now widely used almost in various fields such as: medicine, learning, science, technology, etc.. That is the language of Latin, which has been influencing English throughout its history. Its authority on English was profound as the Roman army and merchants gave new names to local objects such as: pea, cat, kettle, candle and a numerous number of other common words. The influence of Latin on Old English was profound because Latin was considered the language of a highly developed civilization. The English language has drawn from Latin mainly in its vocabulary, but also in its grammar. These loans are grouped,by time and substance, into five periods—the Zero, First, Second, Third, and Modern. Each of these has distinctive characteristics, both of the Latin words adopted and the process of assimilation undergone. Latin words have also been adopted to English through Modern French, Modern Italian and Norman French.
