No. The last Roman Emperor to speak Latin was Justinian I of the Byzantine Empire who ruled more than two centuries after Constantine.
Constantine would have had to have spoken both Latin, his native language, and Greek, the diplomatic language of his time.

I speak and study Latin. So people do speak and study Latin.
Less than 1% of people speak Latin fluently today. It is primarily used in academic and religious settings rather than everyday communication.
cur dice latina EDIT: That is not a grammatical translation at all :) Without more input, there are a few ways to take the questions you asked: Why should (I) speak Latin Why should (we) speak Latin Why should (you) speak Latin Why should (y'all) speak Latin Why should (he/she/it) speak Latin Why should (they) speak Latin In English and Latin you can leave out a nominative, but in Latin any regular verb needs to have a person. In any of these situations, you would still begin: Cur dicam/dicas/dicat/dicamus/dicatis/dicant "Why should [subj] speak", using the subjunctive to convey the "should" aspect. The second part is tricky as well. Do you mean "[speak] in Latin", or a more general "[speak] the Latin language"? for the first: Cur dicamus Latine? and for the second: Cur dicamus linguam Latinam? (NB I decided to use only why should we speak, as it seems to fit most contexts you might be asking this for)
The meaning of the name Constantine [latin Constantinus] is constant/ steadfast. It is still in use in Greece [Κωνσταντίνος, Κώστας -Costas, Ντίνος - Dinos].
There is no such thing as a "person from latin". Latin is a language, not a place.If you are talking about a person from Latin America, most speak either Portuguese or Spanish. Some speak French.
