How do you say why speak Latin in Latin?

cur dice latina EDIT: That is not a grammatical translation at all :) Without more input, there are a few ways to take the questions you asked: Why should (I) speak Latin Why should (we) speak Latin Why should (you) speak Latin Why should (y'all) speak Latin Why should (he/she/it) speak Latin Why should (they) speak Latin In English and Latin you can leave out a nominative, but in Latin any regular verb needs to have a person. In any of these situations, you would still begin: Cur dicam/dicas/dicat/dicamus/dicatis/dicant "Why should [subj] speak", using the subjunctive to convey the "should" aspect. The second part is tricky as well. Do you mean "[speak] in Latin", or a more general "[speak] the Latin language"? for the first: Cur dicamus Latine? and for the second: Cur dicamus linguam Latinam? (NB I decided to use only why should we speak, as it seems to fit most contexts you might be asking this for)


Why didn't Julius Caesar force the conquered Britons to speak Latin?

Julius Caesar did not force to conquered Britons to speak Latin because he never conquered Britain. He only made two attempts at invasion, but was forced to turn back because of the weather. However after Britain was made a Roman province, Latin was the official language and most Brits spoke it, as it was to their advantage. The English language changed after the Romans left due to the various invasions.Julius Caesar did not force to conquered Britons to speak Latin because he never conquered Britain.
