Best Answer

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)
