The Latin translation of the words 'United States' is the following: Civitates Consociatae. The word-by-word translation is as follows: 'civitates' means 'bodies of citizens'; and 'consociatae' means 'formed together into an alliance'. According to classical Latin, the pronunciation is the following: kee-wee-TAH-tays kohn-soh-kee-AH-teye*. According to liturgical Latin, the pronunciation is as follows: chee-vee-TAH-tays kohn-soh-chee-AH-tay. *The sound is similar to the sound of the English word 'eye'.
