Latin is natively known as Lingua Latina and belongs to the Indo-European, Italic, Latino-Faliscan language family.
There are approximately No native speakers (liturgical and academic use) worldwide.
Latin was the language of the Roman Empire and is the ancestor of all Romance languages, including Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Romanian.
Although no longer a living vernacular, Latin remains the official language of Vatican City and is used in papal documents, canon law, and Roman Catholic liturgy.
Latin has had an enormous influence on English vocabulary, with an estimated 60% of English words derived directly or indirectly from Latin.
Scientific nomenclature in biology, medicine, law, and other fields continues to use Latin extensively for precision and international standardisation.
Latin was the lingua franca of European education, diplomacy, and scholarship for over a thousand years, from the fall of Rome until the 18th century.
Latin documents encountered in Australian translation contexts are typically historical church records (baptism, marriage, burial registers), Vatican-issued documents, academic diplomas from European universities (particularly older ones), and legal or genealogical documents. The Catholic Church in Australia may also produce Latin documents for canonical matters.
About Ascot
Ascot is a predominantly affluent residential suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, characterised by large Queenslander homes. Located 7 kilometres (4 mi) from Brisbane, the suburb is well catered for in terms of public transport with many bus and train services departing from Ascot railway station.
Ascot is home to the Eagle Farm and Doomben racecourses, and is best known for its racing carnivals and for the precinct of Racecourse Road, with its cafes, restaurants, boutique shops and poinciana trees lining the street. Historically, the land was occupied by the Aboriginal Turrbal group. In 1855, pastoralist James Sutherland purchased a large portion of area including Ascot and its surrounds.
In 1882 a railway line was built from Eagle Junction to Ascot for access to the racecourse that had already been established. During World War II, several buildings were used by Douglas MacArthur and the Central Bureau, which had its headquarters at "Nyrambla", 21 Henry Street. Also used was the fire station at 77 Kitchener Road and several other locations in nearby Hamilton.
