Editing Neo-Latin (section)

====Latin and linguistics====
As academic study of languages in Germany and elsewhere intensified, so did knowledge of Latin. This manifested itself in the proposal for restoring Classical pronunciation, but also in further refining knowledge of vowel quantity, use of grammatical constructions and the meaning of particular words. Study of non-standard Latin began. Overall, this intensified the purification, standardisation and academisation of Latin. In education, this led to an increasingly [[Grammar–translation method|grammar based approach]] to learning in many countries, reinforcing its reputation for being difficult and abstruse.
