Kilcullen Diary: NEW YOUTH DRAMA GROUP

DID YOU KNOW?

The Latin for traffic jam is fluxus interclusio. It's not generally known that the Vatican constantly updates the dormant language in a special dictionary, Lexicon Recentis Latinitatis, combining classical root words to describe modern actions, events, and inventions. Among them, jogging (cursus pedester) and fog lights (pharus adversus nebulam). Latin serves as the official working language of Vatican City, and papal decrees, official laws, and the Code of Canon Law are first written and published in Latin.
