comparing modern italian to ancient latin.
Offtopic but interesting tangent: that's comparing declined languages ( with nominative, accusative, dative etc cases) to languages that use prepositions and other particles instead. Kind of like comparing static type languages vs. clojure and erlang.
- bartonfink 15y agoLatin has prepositions as well, although I see your point. I've made the same case before that Latin is a statically typed human language whereas most of English grammar depends on "runtime" information.
