Latin, on the other hand, is so strongly flexed that it practically doesn't use articles.

For completeness: s/practically//;

I'm not really a Latinist, but I do recall a book titled "Winnie ille Pooh" by Milne.

Anyway, I usually prefer to make weak assertions.

Neither am I, in fact I've almost completely forgotten it, notwithstanding the five years I studied it at school, and I was rather good at it, go figure! Anyway, there are no articles: what that you mention is "ille, illa, illud", an adjective and a pronoun akin to English' "that" but also having the acceptation of "that famous", "the very renown". Indeed I seem to remember (caution because in turn I'm not a linguist) that modern Italian (definite) articles, "il, lo, la, gli, le" are to some extent weak forms of those Latin words. By contrast Sardu, which is considered a language of its own rather than an Italian dialect, also has definite articles, but they're completely different and deriving from Latin "ipse, ipsa, ipsum".

As if this thread weren't almost entirely off topic already.... You should be hesitant to ask an encyclopedia question.

A native probably has something more, and more amusing, to say than Wiki.

Conceivably he could correct it. :-)
