About Latin
Latin is a classical language of the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages, originally spoken in the region around Rome. It became the language of the Roman Republic and Roman Empire, and subsequently the liturgical language of the Roman Catholic Church. Latin is written in the Latin script, which forms the basis of many modern alphabets.
With around 20,000 speakers today, Latin is mainly used in academic, legal, and ecclesiastical contexts. An interesting aspect of Latin is its role as the progenitor of the Romance languages, including Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian. Despite its decline as a spoken language, Latin has left a lasting legacy on Western culture, and its phrases and roots are still widely used in various fields such as law, science, and theology.
