It is true that Latin is a dead language. However, the term "dead" simply implies that the language is no longer spoken. As having been a Latin student for several years, I realized that, although it is not spoken, studying the Latin language has many benefits. For example, the language has a definite effect on vocabulary and sentence structure, as well as greatly increasing logical thinking skills. It is also believed to have a great effect on SAT scores. Having taking the SATs, I found myself using Latin base words quite frequently in the vocabulary section. Hope this helps!
