Latin is a dead language, meaning it is no longer spoken as a native language by any people. It is primarily used in academic and religious contexts.
Many countries have languages derived from Latin, known as Romance languages. These include:
* Italian
* Spanish
* French
* Portuguese
* Romanian
* Catalan
* Galician
* Occitan
* Sardinian
* Friulian
* Ladino
These languages share many similarities with Latin due to their common ancestor.
