Talk:Dei Gratia Regina

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Correctness of Latin

I removed the following recent anonymous addition:

In correct Latin is it written as: Rex/Regina Dei Gratia

(There was no period at the end of the sentence.) To my knowledge, either word order is perfectly correct. Latin has extremely free word order, and certainly the modifier Dei gratia may either precede or follow the modified noun regina. Even in English, which has much more rigid word order, it is equally correct to say "Queen, by the grace of God" or "by the grace of God, Queen". ACW 15:20, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
