Interesting Places # 42 - Finland

Finland is the only country in the world which broadcasts the news in Latin.

(Nuntii Latini - News in Latin - is a weekly review of world news in Classical Latin, the only international broadcast of its kind in the world, produced by YLE, the Finnish Broadcasting Company. I don't know why this cheers me up so much, but it does. Maybe it appeals to my belief that no language should ever die out completely.)
