Acadēmīa Latīnitātis, an English-Neo-Latin dictionary Currently, there are 372 English words in 0 entries with 347 Latin translations.
Welcome to the English-Latin Dictionary Acadēmīa Latīnitātis, a collaborative project to produce a dictionary for the use of modern Latin. Feel free to use the search bar! Its goal goes beyond that of a normal dictionary, because in addition to purely descriptive entries, our goal is to coin new Latin words to keep the language alive. We are currently trying to focus on documenting and creating Neo-Latin vocabulary (i.e., Latin from the Middle Ages to the present). Therefore, this dictionary does not (yet) represent most of the words that were already found in antiquity. For this, we recommend the dictionaries provided on latinitium.com.	Random Latin fact Gaius Jūlius Caesar The Roman first name Gaius is, despite the common misspelling "Gajus", trisyllabic. In numerous poems by the Roman poet Martial, we see that the name cannot be bisyllabic for metrical reasons. Presumably, the name is a contraction of the name Gavius. Source: "Gaius". In: Charlton T.
