Talk:Most Serene Republic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I deleted "(Latin Regnum Serenissima)" because that cannot be correct. It must be either "Regnum Serenissimum" or maybe "Res publica serenissima" or something like "Regnum Serenissimae Poloniae/Venetiae" or so, but Latin grammar does not accord with what was written there. Is there anyone who knows what is correct? Buncic 16:49, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I thought (Classical) Latin for "republic" was respublica, one word. (It's one of those nouns with irregular conjugations that every student of Latin learns.) However, I see little value in keeping it in the article, especially as no source has been offered for the authentic Latin form, so I've removed it entirely. The term in the relevant languages (Latin/Italin/Polish) ought to go in the relevant articles, but it's superfluous on a disambiguation page. --Blisco 22:31, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
