Talk:A Latin Reader

The Purpose of this Reader
The purpose of this reader is to collect a large amount of easy reading material for learners who have already completed their introduction to Latin. The readings here assume the reader is familiar with all the basic structures and grammar of the language, but do not seek to imitate the complex style of genuine Latin authors.

It is meant to be, in other words, a library of readings Roman children might have found accessible, and which will be useful to adult learners. Michael A Champagne (discuss • contribs) 19:29, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

A Note on Style
This book is written using Ramist orthography for the sake of clarity.


 * 1) The vowel U is distinguished from the consonant V. This prevents confusion in words such as volvi and volui, conserui and conservi, and salui and salvi.
 * 2) The vowel I is distinguished from the consonant J. This makes clear the phonological difference between et jam and etiam, between iens and jentaculum, between Januarius and iambus.
