Order of cases in declension

Click here on modern case order to toggle order of declensions to legacy case order. (Click again to change back. You may need to refresh the browser tab to see the effects.)

Legacy case order is nominative/vocative, genitive, dative, accusative, ablative. This is how it's still taught in Britain, the United States and Germany.

Modern case order (my default) is nominative/vocative, accusative, genitive, dative ablative. This is how it began to be taught in France in the 1970s when I studied at l'université de Paris X; it's a more mneumonic paradigm, more logical order, easier to memorize, with the cases "falling" more obliquely away from the nominative (0 or vertical case). Citing a substantive in Latin is still performed by nominative/genitive.
