Presenta1ons	
	
Samisa	Abeysinghe

•  No	more	than	7	words	per	bullet	
•  No	more	than	7	bullets	per	slide

•  La1n	is	a	classical	
language		
•  La1n	was	used	well	
into	18th	century		
•  Today	La1n	is	used	
as	a	liturgical	
language	
La1n	(La1n:	lingua	laLna,	IPA:	[ˈlɪŋɡʷa	laˈ1ːna])	is	a	classical	language	
belonging	to	the	Italic	branch	of	the	Indo-European	languages.	The	La1n	
alphabet	is	derived	from	the	Etruscan	and	Greek	alphabets,	and	ul1mately	
from	the	Phoenician	alphabet.	
		
La1n	was	originally	spoken	in	La1um,	in	the	Italian	Peninsula.[3]	Through	
the	power	of	the	Roman	Republic,	it	became	the	dominant	language,	
ini1ally	in	Italy	and	subsequently	throughout	the	Roman	Empire.	Vulgar	
La1n	developed	into	the	Romance	languages,	such	as	Italian,	Portuguese,	
Spanish,	French,	and	Romanian.	La1n	and	French	have	contributed	many	
words	to	the	English	language.	La1n	and	Ancient	Greek	roots	are	used	in	
theology,	biology,	and	medicine.	
		
By	the	late	Roman	Republic	(75	BC),	Old	La1n	had	been	standardised	into	
Classical	La1n.	Vulgar	La1n	was	the	colloquial	form	spoken	during	the	
same	1me	and	a_ested	in	inscrip1ons	and	the	works	of	comic	playwrights	
like	Plautus	and	Terence.[4]	Late	La1n	is	the	wri_en	language	from	the	3rd	
century,	and	Medieval	La1n	the	language	used	from	the	9th	century	to	the	
Renaissance	which	used	Renaissance	La1n.	Later,	Early	Modern	La1n	and	
Modern	La1n	evolved.	La1n	was	used	as	the	language	of	interna1onal	
communica1on,	scholarship,	and	science	un1l	well	into	the	18th	century,	
when	it	began	to	be	supplanted	by	vernaculars.	Ecclesias1cal	La1n	
remains	the	official	language	of	the	Holy	See	and	the	Roman	Rite	of	the	
Catholic	Church.
Some	Points	to	Ponder	
•  Great	presenta1ons	are	like	short	videos		
– 15	minutes	ideal		
•  One	slide	per	minute,	21	maximum	
•  Never	read	from	slides;	speak	by	heat!	
•  Pitch	to	your	audience’s	interests
Any	audience	would	appreciate	bit	of	
HUMOR
Keep	it	simple
Work	hard	
on	your	
speech
