In general, Latin was the language used in science, not just in math. At least, to give names to things, Latin (as well as Greek) was often used.In general, Latin was the language used in science, not just in math.

The Latin language isn't necessarily the language most used in science, but many words that we use derive from words in Latin. This can include prefixes, suffixes, and even whole words can be used. I know this because I take it and there are many words that have been taken to make English words. If i remember correctly, 34% of the English language comes from Latin. For instince, the Latin word descendo means to go/climb down, or descend.

'Language' in Latin is 'lingua.'
Yes, Portuguese can be called a Latin based language.
German is not heavily rooted in Latin, as it belongs to the Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family. However, German has borrowed vocabulary from Latin over the centuries, especially in fields like science, religion, and law.
