Latin is no longer spoken today. It is still taught in schools and universities because it is the basis for many modern languages, for example Italian, French, Spanish, English, Portuguese, and many more. It is also used heavily in scientific and legal terminology. Languages based on Latin are known as Romance Languages because it was the language of ancient Rome.
