The EU has now expanded to countries – Bulgaria, Greece – where Latin did not play a major role historically. Even Romania, where the language is Romance, never employed Classical Latin as a language of learning (Greek and Church Slavonic were used instead). So, choosing Latin would seem unfair for the Orthodox world.

- dredmorbius 7y agoLatin did play a major role in Greece (which was ruled by Rome), though in a twist, as Adam Davidson of The History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps podcast (a real treasure) notes, Rome adopted Greek as its language of scholarship and aristocracy rather than imposing Latin on the Greeks.
- k_sze 7y agoIt shouldn’t be a problem if Latin was made into an official language, just not the official language.
