Latin and German: the two languages I wish I understood more than I do. I can pick out a handful of words and phrases, but nothing useful. I think I'd have a hard time learning another language if it wasn't something I used often.

Luckily German shares in many things in common with English. I eventually wish to learn Latin and French, and get to learn more English terms. I don't care about Italian lol.

I was gonna say...
It literally reads : By the friend, and each other obstacle and by the world heart, it conquers.

If you would like, here's a more accurate translation:
Amici, et virtus, et cor purus omnes impedimenta vincent.

(I took Latin for 6 years)

I took Latin for 2 years. Pig Latin for a day, and switched to German.
The Latin just didn't click for me German does.

Quid nomen es tibi?

It's sad this is a majority of what I remember. Still I can recognize Latin in words.

I don't know when it was invented/formalized but Italian definitely existed in the medieval period. There are Italian terms for plate armor pieces and I've seen reference to books about armor written in Italian during medieval times.

Dante's Divine Comedy was written in a Tuscan dialect that served as the foundation of modern italian. That was written in the early 14th century.

And now to get this forum thread back on topic...

Oh neat, and right around the time of plate armor, which is all I knew it from. Didn't know when or how it started. Fun fact, thanks. :)

And yes, on topic:

Of course it did; do you think the people in that region did not speak at all?  ;)

It wasn't referred to as 'Italian' because there was no 'Italy' as we know it now; they were 'city-states' such as Genoa, Pisa, Venezia, etc- but they all spoke the same language with varying dialects depending on which one they hailed from.
