@OP: Yes I've read Commentaries on the Gallic War and Civil Wars only in English sadly. Its still a goal of mine to get my Latin to a level where I will be able to read New Latin "translations" of it.Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila

Latin is still a language you learn in part of the grammar school (I guess it is still the case, it was for me 20 years ago) for a few years, but the practical importance is left only in science/historical, there is no "living" population who speaks latin as such anymore, the only pockets (and dying) are left of some old romance dialects in Istria I belive... but only the elderly are left speaking the local dialects.Socrates: "Good is That at which all things aim, If one knows what the good is, one will always do what is good." Brian: "Romanes eunt domus"
