A latin nyelv története az indoeurópai alapnyelvtől a klasszikus latinig (History of Latin from the Indo-European proto-language to Classical Latin)

Latin is the most important part of Europe's cultural heritage. Latin was the most important intermediary language of medieval and early modern Europe. The Latinn alphabet had a major impact on the cultural landscape of the whole world, as it was used to write most of the languages of Europe. From Latin, the Romance or Neo-Latin languages were born. These facts alone show the importance of the lingua Latina, the Latin language, which was spoken in the 5th century BC in a small area of Latium, which gave its name to the language itself. This work not only provides a scientific description of the linguistic changes, but also answers more general questions: What methods can be used to approach linguistic prehistory where no written sources are available? How can the relationships of affinities between languages be explored? How did the Latin alphabet we use evolve? How did the letter F develop the sound value of f and why is the sound g denoted by G? What linguistic changes and cultural factors led to the language variant known as Classical Latin, in which Cicero, Caesar, Virgil and others created literature that is still influential today? These and similar questions are answered in the first history of Latin in Hungarian.
