Latinus

Etymology
From.

Adjective

 * 1) ; of or pertaining to the Latin language, people, or culture

Usage notes
With verbs of translation, the neuter singular is generally used for both the target and source languages: librum ē Graecō in Latīnum reddō ("I am translating a book from Greek into Latin").

Aside from the latter, language adjectives are extremely rarely used on their own in pre-Classical, Classical and Late Latin, becoming more common not until well into the medieval period; adverbs like  are used instead, e.g. Latīnē loquantur ("they should speak Latin"). For situations where this isn't possible, e.g. as the subject of a verb, the noun lingua must be included: Lingua Latīna placet, et prōdest! ("Latin is a joy, and is useful!").
