Re: Latin help wanted
What you need? The Werefrog may do well enough in Latin to help.

Re: Latin help wanted
Is Churchspeak pure Latin? I always figured it picked from a bunch of languages. Sanskrit, Hebrew etc. It's a bit closer to modern Latin than WH40k High Gothi, but not by far.

Re: Latin help wanted
It is basically Latin, but a version of it. I envision someone in the early Universal Church did a reconstruction of the language to fit the Omega Gospels. However, a 1500 years of use on many planets have changed it even further, so there are probably many variations out there.

Re: Latin help wanted
I took two semesters of Latin back in college. Things that a History major do for you.
If you need more help, let me know.
I would figure that the Latin used by the Church is closer to the Medieval Latin of Hildegarde of Bingen, (maybe slightly dirtier) than the classic, or reformed, Latin.

Re: Latin help wanted
I would imagine that what the church calls Latin is actually mostly Latin with a heavy leavening of ancient Greek and Aramaic. I lean towards Calvin's view on this. For purposes of writing it up, I would feel free to substitute an ancient Greek or an Aramaic or even a Sanskrit word if I couldn't find the right Latin word.

Re: Latin help wanted
Mudding up the Latin and introducing latinized loan words is all good.
I got my help from werefrog however, so I'm all set for now.
Only took one semester of Latin myself, which thought me just enough to realize I don't have a clue

Re: Latin help wanted
In my old group the GM new Latin (Roman Archeologist) and the person who played the priest knew latin. (Medical field / history person) The priest would spout off latin and such... it added a bit of flair I do say.
