Looking through catalogued questions on answers.yahoo.com, I noticed that nearly half of the requests for "Language X to Latin" translations end up with Spanish replies.

I have a theory. My theory is that, like nationalistic Greek linguists who insist that the tonal accent never existed or that the second syllable of "alpha" began with a voiceless labiodental fricative, some rampant piece of misinformation has invaded the minds of Spanish speakers everywhere with the proposition "Spanish is Latin."

Am I correct?

I was just wondering how common it was. Also, if you want to, please leave me your msn or yahoo im address, im really interested in talking to someone who can speak latin. if u want to add me u can, its an msn addrsss gmaier@Gmaier.co.uk (its supposed to be a repeated word, no error)
