WHO STILL SPEAKS LATIN TODAY?
https://carmentablog.com/why-latin-is-considered-a-dead-language-and-how-many-people-still-speak-it/
According to a study by the British Council, there are around 2 million people in the world who speak Latin as a first language. This number is likely to be much higher when including those who speak it as a second language. The majority of Latin speakers are found in Europe, with around 1.6 million people in Italy and another 1 million in Spain. There are also small pockets of Latin speakers in other parts of the world, including the United States, Brazil, and Mexico. Latin is also the official language of the Vatican City.
While the number of Latin speakers may seem small, the influence of the Latin language is still very strong. Many English words are derived from Latin, and it is estimated that around 60% of all English vocabulary is of Latin origin. Latin is also the language of the Roman Catholic Church, and it is used in many religious ceremonies and texts. In addition, Latin is the language of academia and is still used in many scientific and medical terms.
