How to Convert Russian Words to Latin
Russian is the first language of 150 to 180 million people today. Outside the Vatican, no one has spoken Latin as a first language for around 2,000 years. Yet the ability to translate the languages is important for religious and scholarly purposes. As the primary language of the largest Orthodox Church, Russian ecclesiastical documents need to be translated into Latin to be shared with the Vatican. In the secular realm, as Latin has remained a lingua franca for scholars, doctors and legalists, translating scholarly Russian works into Latin makes them useful to a global audience.
