De Latino sine Flexione; Principio de Permanentia

Latin once served as the lingua franca of scholarship, trade and empire, but by the eighteenth century its complexity left many feeling it was out of reach. This work reimagines Latin as a streamlined international auxiliary language, preserving its expressive power while shedding cumbersome inflections. It argues that a modest core vocabulary, paired with a handful of simple grammatical conventions, can convey any idea across cultures.

The author lays out a clear system: cases are replaced by prepositions, gender distinctions are largely omitted, and singular‑plural nuances are expressed with explicit words rather than endings. Verb forms become uniform, with a fixed set of infinitives and a minimal set of personal markers. Each rule is illustrated with straightforward examples that show how everyday statements—about friendship, commerce, or science—can be rendered in this simplified Latin.

Readers will discover a practical toolkit for constructing sentences that feel both classical and accessible, offering a bridge between the rich heritage of Latin and the demands of modern global communication.
