Just like modern Romance languages Latin usually has the stress on the second last syllable. Ironically the name of this syllable doesn't have the stress there itself: sýllaba paenúltima.

Unlike modern Romance languages Latin can only have the stress on the syllaba paenultima or the syllable before it in words with two or more syllables. Italian, Portuguese and Spanish can have the stress on the last syllable as well, and French very often has the stress on the last syllable.

In Swedish you always use the full Greek and Roman names, for instance: Marcus Antonius. The pronunciation is adapted to the Swedish, though.

The way modal auxilliary verbs are used in modern Germanic languages is similar to the way all verbs were used in Ancient Greek, although Ancient Greek had more forms.

Watermelons and cucumbers frequently leave me gaseous.
