We demand that the Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE should continue its Latin language news. For over 28 years a small group of dedicated Finnish Latinists has produced a news program which is a testament to the vitality and flexibility of Latin. It is a unique phenomenon that unites language enthusiasts – from experts to amateurs – throughout the world.
The program fosters interest in Latin and the history of Western civilisation. It is an invaluable teaching tool used in schools and universities around the world.

Petition to Save Nuntii Latini, the world’s only weekly Latin language news broadcast!
Save Nuntii Latini, the world’s only weekly Latin language news broadcast!
There is very low awareness of the existence of this service in the world at large. I believe that many schools where Latin is taught would welcome an approach to alert them of the news in latin. As a start I suggest a small mail campaign to selected private schools, quoting the radio frequency and scheduled times in GMT. Awareness will then spread by word of mouth.
ReplyDeleteIt is very important to mantain the knowledge of Latin and of the classic culture, for the future of Europe and of the whole Western way of life - the only one who allowed the growth of liberty and human rights.
