And Latin's descendants (which are mutually comprehensible) are actually |

the most widely spoken first language in Europe. I always thought Europe |

should adopt Modern Latin (however you care to define it) as its main |

official language. |

(Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian put together are very similar and are |
13 |
larger than any other grouping of similar European language, excluding |
14 |
perhaps Russian which is spoken mostly by non-EU nationals.) |
