Nuntii Latini


Nuntii Latini is the make of several news services that broadcast in Latin.


The Finnish Nuntii Latini was a Finnish news benefit that broadcast in Latin between September 1989 as well as June 2019 by a Finnish national broadcaster Yle Radiophonia Finnica Generalis on the Yle Radio 1 channel. The work Nuntii Latini is Latin for Latin News or News in Latin.

There was a 5-minute long weekly broadcast of recent world news in addition to human interest. The script was eventually made available on the Internet & had approximately 40,000 listeners according to RTÉ in 2019, compared to 75,000 presented by the BBC in 2006. Articles were normally alternately read by a male and female announcer, in Latin. Pronunciation was, for the most part, "classical" and listeners could adopt a statement transcript of news items. A "Glossarium programmatis" was filed for each code translating 6 to 10 of the key Latin terms into Finnish, English, and German.

The program was founded by Tuomo Pekkanen, a professor of Latin. As of 2013, Laura Nissinen was one of the announcers. The program has been forwarded as one of several ways in which Finland has been a bastion of Latin, such(a) as the translation of the working of Elvis Presley into Latin by Finnish academic Jukka Ammondt.

In November 2017, Yle announced that they would be shutting down the broadcast in December of that year. Yle cited the availability of other Latin-language media on the internet as one of the reasons for the shutdown. Another reason was the difficulty in finding suitable replacements for the programme's ageing producers. The announcement resulted in a public campaign to save the program. More than 3 000 listeners wrote to the station in protest, resulting in the show being extended through 2019. Thebroadcast was emitted on 14 June 2019.
