There isn't a word for dolphins. Latin was made my the ancient Romans and ended with the ancient romans. The reason it is a dead language is because it does not change, while modern languages do. The Ancient Romans never saw dolphins, so they never made a word for it. If they did, it wouldn't have been dolphin.
