Talk:India
I added the Tibetan entry, but wasn't sure of the format. This was a translation request and it is the first one I have responded to.

The Latin section lists only definitions marked "Late Latin" and "New Latin," both corresponding more or less exactly to the modern English sense of "the country/region India." The New Latin definition says that this meaning is "proscribed in modern use," which seems to contradict the following New Latin definition indicating it still means this for modern Latin-speakers. Odder still, of the two sources cited, one, Lewis & Short's Latin Dictionary, gives a classical Latin definition (also meaning the South Asian land home to the Indus River), supported by quotations from Catullus, Cicero, and Virgil using the word in this sense. What gives? Why isn't there a classical Latin definition, and why does the entry say using "India" to mean the Asian country is "proscribed in modern use" in Late Latin? 104.220.174.56 22:54, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Indies as a sort of plural
