The vowel tables in the phonology table need to be restored to their earlier version with a qualitative difference between the long/short vowel pairs. Allen's vowel theory is far and away the dominant model in current scholarship, and representing it as anything less than that is either ignorant or intellectually dishonest. In comparison, Calabrese's theory on Latin vowel qualities is, at best, fringe, and in fact, the specific Calabrese that is cited as the basis of the current vowel tables is notoriously rife with basic errors of fact that underpin the his very argument. At most, an in-text acknowledgement of Calabrese's viewpoint, as is exactly what's done in the Latin Phonology and Orthography page, is what's appropriate. As it stands, not only is the phonology section of this article out of parity with the Latin Phonology and Orthography page for this reason, but this article's vowel tables are even inconsistent with its own in-text examples, which just looks embarrassing/sloppy.

The article currently makes no mention of where the language came from. It suggests that it suddenly appeared when Rome was founded. Who can shed light in the darkness? Groogle (talk) 07:55, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
I am requesting two edits; a few small changes and one rather large addition.
My minor requests are simply missing macrons in some of the words listen early in the Verbs section. The first is in the identification of verb conjugations by the infinitive. Where is says "... the first conjugation ends in '-ā-re' or 'ā-r(i)'...". The 'i' in parentheses should be changed to 'ī'. Following, in the next paragraph discussing irregular verbs, the infinitive 'īre' is listed, however spelt as 'ire', without the macron.
Additionally, slightly further into the Verbs section is an explanation and description of the four principle parts, however there is no description for deponent verbs, whose principle parts are distinct from regular verbs. I would like to request that somewhere, either in the subparagraph for the fourth principle part or a following separate paragraph, is an explanation that deponent and semi-deponent verbs only have three principle parts, simply due to the fact that regular verbs' third and fourth parts only distinct from active and passive.

Partly done: I took care of the missing diacritics as well as adding a semicolon that seemed to be missing. For your second proposed change, please provide a verbatim copy of the text you would like to add. Perhaps it could be added to the brief subsection on deponent verbs, immediately following the main section on verbs. Day Creature (talk) 19:56, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
