It is still spoken as an official language in the Vatican.
--
Note that Latin is rarely "spoken" as a language in modern times-
(I don't think they speak it much at the Vatican either, though I may be mistaken)
The official language of Vatican City is Latin, (I think Italian is as well)
They use French as a diplomatic language, and the Swiss Guard, in which commands on parade are given in German, also uses French and Italian in all it's official ceremonies.
(Latin isn't used much, is my point)
(Though I may be wrong, maybe the pope has conversations in the telephone in Latin!...)
Other than the Holy See, Latin was the official language of Hungary until 1844, though it was probably not spoken as an official language, people there spoke, what I am guessing is Hungarian. (Though the Hungarian Empire was quite big at the time and people most likely spoke a number of languages, but that's not important..)

What language is spoken with the last name is Foo?
Chinese
If your last name is Latin are you Latin?
Latin is the language that used to be spoken in the Roman Empire, as such it is not a nationality. The term ''Latin'' is also used to describe people who come from countries where Spanish and Portuguese is the primary language, and to describe those countries as a group; hence the term ''Latin America''. If your surname is ''Latin'', that tells us very little about your nationality, although it suggests some European connection.
In which South American country is Portuguese spoken and why is it the natural language of that country?
Portuguese is the official language of Brazil, which is South America's largest country. Of all the countries of South America, it's most logical that Portuguese should be spoken in Brazil, and that it should have the status of the official language, because Brazil is a former Portuguese colony.So Portuguese is the native language of Brazilians for whom it's the mother tongue. But the language isn't native to Brazil. Instead, it was transplanted by the Portuguese navigators, rulers and settlers. And it was so successful in its naturalization that nowadays it's known, spoken and understood by almost all Brazilians.Portuguese is also spoken in many other South American Countries, becasue of the proximity and importance of Brazil, but it is not the official language of any other South American Country.Portuguese is spoken in Argentina and Uruguay, where the language is a required subject for schoolchildren. But the official language in both countries remains Spanish. Portuguese also is spoken in the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, where it's one of the nine recognized regional languages of importance. But the country's official language remains English. And, in far lesser degrees, Portuguese also is spoken in Bolivia, Paraguay, and Venezuela; in French Guiana; and in Venezuela. But the official language of the first three countries remains Spanish; and that in the last two countries, French and Dutch, respectively.
