How do you say Latin is a beautiful language in Latin?
You would say,"Lingua Latina est lingua pulchra". Now this literally translates "The Latin language is a beautiful language".

In modern terms you could get away with "Latina est lingua pulchra", as in our way of speaking many times an adjective is used for a noun, and this sentence continues to say you are speaking about a language and not, say, a Latina or Hispanic girl.
