I think there are people in the Vatican that still speak it... not sure on that one though...


There is a Vatican dictionary of Latin with updated words, but can't find it.

Thank you both for the answer, what about gravis industrius, its a suggestion i have had from a mate a few moments ago but he isnt that sure either, does that make any more sense?


No, Industria is a feminine noun, ergo industrius isn't a word.

EDIT: I take that back, Industrius is a word, but it's an adjective, ergo if you want "heavy industry" to be a noun, it wouldn't make sense. Industrius on it's own would be sort of a shortened version for "The diligent man"

EDIT 2: I take back "gravis industria" or "industria gravis" being correct also. Since you said "heavy industries", I believe it would be "industriae grave" instead.


As I said above, "industria" is an abstraction and it can't be "heavy". "Gravis" means litherally that weights much, and an abstraction does not weight at all.


According to my handy dandy dictionary, and other sources on the internet which you can look up on your own time, gravis means more than just the literal "heavy"....

iirc in latin titles and headers are to be put in the ablative mode, not nominative, so while "gravis industria" is literally correct it should become "grave industria" singular or "gravibus industriis" if plural.

Unfortunately I think the term "industria" has quite a different meaning though, closer to the human behaviour of being productive and efficient rather than referring to a group of people producing stuff. I guess "opus" is more precise but I can't really remember not even where I buried my latin dictionary

Well that makes sense, since there wasnt really any heavy industry in Roman times like the way we mean it nowadays as i understand it. So i am simply looking for anything that can be closest to that.

In addition, i want to thank everyone for their responses and their tries for helping out, i am much obliged

For a language to be considered 'alive', there must be a significant number of people that still fluently speak the language, as a primary tongue, on a daily basis. Latin doesn't qualify.

I have no intention of leaving her, doctor.

I will take the Lewis and Clark to a safe distance and then I'll launch tact missiles at the Event Horizon until I'm satisfied she's vaporized.

F**k this ship!

there's a reason for that. it's because it's a dead language. the only point in learning latin is to gain a better understanding of the languages which descended from it.
Latin is far from a dead language, it's just that in modern times it's been mostly relegated to religious chanting.


yes, it is. No one speaks latin as a primary language any more. no natural speakers = dead language.
At the risk of arguing semantics all I'm gonna say is I was taught latin in school, and it's a language that many people still use to chant with on a daily basis.


And all of science still uses latin - but still = dead language for all intents and purposes (which, I suspect, is why science makes use of it so extensively)
