Why are latian and ancient greek used to name organisms in classification?

Organism naming and classification has been one of the important scientific practices since the ancient times. While setting up an order for classification, in those times too, there was a certain methodology followed in naming the organism classes. For example, there was a certain name give to the class of organisms which have a spine - vertebrates etc. Organisms were classified in the basis of their physical and behavioral characteristics that they displayed. They were assigned names on the basis of that. There was a 'nomenclature dictionary' that was created to name new species. It was well documented over years, and followed. In the modern time, though English gained popularity over these two ancient languages, the structure and heirarchy of describing an newly discovered organism that was defined in the ancient times are still valid and well set. World over this scientific way of naming has been accepted as a standard. Hence instead of creating a whole new list of mapping the names in a 'current' language with the names in the 'ancient' languages, scientists decided to stick to the older languages, to avoid confusion and chaos.
