Does anyone here speak Latin? Even extremely broken Latin is welcome.

Love, /mu/

Wouldn't virtually everything rhyme due to delcension/conjugation endings?

This could have some potential.

What you should do is one line of Latin followed by an English juxtaposition that rhymes to punctuate it.

Take this classic passage of Catullus:
Odi et amo. quare id faciam, fortasse requiris?
nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.

Now it's my new hot rhyme, "Jealousy":
Excrucior et sentio. Odi et amo
Catullus not be the only one that be missing his bro.
Cur, fortasse requiris? Nescio.
Mothafucker be messin' wit my girl, why? I don't know.
Fuck that mothafucker and his long black veil
I'm not going to see him again.
That ship has sailed like an enjambment
That doesn't fit in
To the rest of my rhymes
I don't want to see them for all time
Not for all of mankind.
Not when I'm blind which is not far behind
With my 40 and my 40 and my 40 and my...(fade out)

You get the same basic effect with other romance languages as well. Not to mention fewer vowel sounds. Which is why the rhyme scheme of Dante's inferno is practically impossible to translate.

> Latin rapping doesn't exist

magnae clunes mihi placent, nec possum de hac re mentiri.
quis enim, consortes mei, non fateatur,
cum puella incedit minore medio corpore
sub quo manifestus globus, inflammare animos


Large buttocks are pleasing to me, nor am I able to lie concerning this matter.
For who, colleagues, would not admit,
Whenever a girl comes by with a rather small middle part of the body
Beneath which is an obvious spherical mass, that it inflames the spirits
(cont'd)
