Latin is a dead language, meaning it is no longer spoken as a first language by any community. It was the language of the Roman Empire, but its influence is mainly seen in the Romance languages (like French, Spanish, Italian, etc.) that evolved from it.
However, Latin is still studied and used in some contexts, such as:
* Religious settings: The Catholic Church uses Latin for some liturgical purposes.
* Academia: Latin is studied in schools and universities for its historical and literary significance.
* Scientific naming: Latin is used for the scientific names of plants and animals.
Therefore, while there are no Middle Eastern countries that speak Latin, its influence can be seen in various areas.
