However, Latin is still used in some contexts, such as:
* The Catholic Church: Latin is the official language of the Roman Catholic Church and is used in liturgical services and documents.
* Academia: Latin is studied in universities and schools, particularly in fields like law, medicine, and philosophy.
* Science: Some scientific terms and names are derived from Latin.
While Latin is not spoken as a main language, it has had a significant impact on the development of many modern languages, particularly Romance languages like Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese.
