Tell you the difference between Italian and Latin?

Italian is a kind of Latin, in a sense, since Italian developed from Latin.

Latin still has its old case endings such as -us, -um, -ius, -ii, -ae, etc.--this is the easiest way to spot Latin. If you see small words such as "il," "la," "e," "sono," etc., then it's likely Italian.
