a bit off-topic, but just got curious as hell.

 

Why have Latin mottos???

 

English is not a Latin based language, like portuguese, spanish and italian, so what's up with that??

 

Because Nil Satis Nisi Optimum is the clubs motto and has always been in latin not quite sure of the origins but means "nothing but the best is good enough" and is shown on the clubs badge.

 

Hope that helps ;)

no, i totally got that, i assumed it was the club's motto, my question is a bit broader. Why use Latin, when there's no relation to the language? just curious.

i quite honestly dont know. i just think its got something to do with it always being used as a language for mottos for many years, just a tradition i guess.

The influence of Rome as a country made Latin the common language of South and Western Europe. In these areas Romance languages (Italian, French, Spanish, Romanian and Portuguese) were later derived from Latin.

 

To understand the English language thoroughly it is necessary to have a knowledge of Latin. This is caused by the fact that Anglo-Saxon language (Old English), had borrowed many words from Latin, either directly or through French. This Germanic language group, spoken in Britain, south of the Forth (except Wales and Cornwall), has been making these borrowings both before and after the Norman Conquest (AD 1066). As a result, modern English and Latin are quite closely connected.

 

also Latin was the main language that people learned in england from the 16th to the 19th century

 

yes i am a geek but hope it kinda answers your question!

I'm thinking of getting a tatoo when I 'become of age' :P. I'm getting one on my chest. Like two guns with wings on top. It looks really awesome and I'm getting one similar. I've thought about it for a few years now and have decided 100% I want it.

 

A while a go I wanted a star on my wrist/arm/hand but I kinda' went against it just in-case it turned out wrong I couldent hide it. I'm going to stick to chest and back. Might get something awesome on my back - maybe just the word 'Awesome'

When you was 15? I dont really like any of those bulldog things, I would prefer something that I like myself - unique. What kinda' Mauri tattoo you gonna get then Paul?

Yeah 15 mate i went to Blackpool one day which is littered with backstreet tattoo shops so they did'nt seem to arsed about my age just said i was eighteen in a slightly husky voice as you do :lol: went to school the following monday thinking i was the man :rolleyes: .

I would like something similar to this or along those lines http://tattoo.about.com/library/graphics/082903m.jpg might design my own as it will need to cover the other tattoo though, when i asked my local tattoist he said it would cost around £150 so might get it done within the next month.

That looks quite cool mate. Will it come down your arm so it would be visable if you wore a short-sleeved shirt? And yeah I know what you mean :D
