 POETRY/ visit gg02 echo *3 poetry label g3.gg02echo.net

  • LXXXIV (by Catullus, around 60 bc)
    LATIN -  This poem by Catullus is a famous funny piece where the author is making fun of the accent of a so-called "Arrius".

    Chommoda dicebat, si quando commoda vellet

    Dicere, et insidias Arrius hinsidias,

    Et tum mirifice sperabat se esse locutum,

    Cum, quantum poterat, dixerat hinsidias.

    Credo, sic mater, sic liber avunculus ejus,

    Si maternus avus dixerat atque avia.

    Hoc misso in Syriam requierant omnibus aures ;

    Audibant eadem haec leniter et leviter,

    Nec sibi postilla metuabant talia verba,

    Cum subito affertur nuntius horribilis,

    Ionos fluctus, postquam illuc Arrius isset,

    Jam non Ionos esse, sed Hionos.

Facts and figures

Each day dozens of languages disappear from the Earth surface, each day new languages are being invented, created... From ancient times until most futuristic codes, we try to keep an eye and an ear on the web looking for relevant resources, especially those related with dying or dead languages. The World Wide Web can be seen as a place where the current spoken languages can be preserved; a craddle where dead or forgotten languages are given a second chance, a new life. Babel·lab is meant to be one of those e-craddles/ e-graves.
