Every language has its own particular associations. Classical Latin, a model of concise, accurate expression, stands as an example of an ancient language perpetually renewing itself in later, slightly altered forms. French is traditionally the language of diplomacy, its subtleties reminiscent of inter- national intrigue. Scientific treaties are written in forceful, polysyllabic Ger- ARI S S man. The lilting cadences of Italian have made it the language used as lyrics 6 ,S for a wealth of musical literatureg Italian phrases also compose the vocabulary 'S of musical terms.
