What does BC mean it might not be in latin and I don't want it in English?
BC are simply two letters of the alphabet with no intrinsic meaning of their own.As a common abbreviation BC stands for "Before Christ" or "British Columbia" in English and is not (as far as I am aware) used as an abbreviation in any other language.So whether you want it in English or not, it is an English term.Perhaps you are confused by the opposite of "Before Christ" - the Latin term Anno Domini (AD), meaning "in the year of the Lord". That is a Latin phrase, but BC is not.
