Abstract
This paper looks at uses of linguistics to aid in the teaching of Greek and Latin languages, history, and culture. The teaching of dialects and linguistic differences among them can aid the student to learn new dialects. Linguistics can be used to explain the origins of Graeco-Roman and Indo-European civilizations. Historical linguistics can be used along with archaeology and written historical and literary accounts to show the closeness and relationship of the two cultures and that the Greeks and Romans share a common patrimony of language and religion.
