Most of the scientific names for animals are derived from Latin language. Latin is, however, considered a dead language.

I think it is Latin. Most names in Taxonomy and many other scientific names are Latin. There are quite a few exceptions such as the names of elements and laws/equipment that were named after the people who discovered or invented them.
The most commonly spoken language in the UK is English.
Arabic is the most commonly used language in the Sahara.
Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language in the United States.
Spanish is not the most commonly spoken language in the world. The most commonly spoken language is Mandarin Chinese, followed by English and then Spanish.
A 'dead' language was needed, so that there could be no doubt about the names - there are pet names and official names for animals in most languages, so it can be hard to get a good translation from one modern language into several other modern languages. Latin was the chosen dead language because it was and is quite well known by educated people in Europe, which was the base for scientific development at the time.
Welsh is the most commonly spoken Celtic language, about 90% of the speakers live in Wales and England. Irish is the second commonly spoken.
