Years in the past, I heard (from a solid source) a narrative with regard to the final man or woman conversing latin as a community language: tremendously, he died in nineteenth century; i don't bear in mind the information, yet he replaced into the final of a small community residing someplace in present day Croatia or Slovenia. at present no person speaks latin as a community language, and merely in Vatican city latin is the respected language. although, Vatican city is an autonomous us of a, and is not element of Italy. So, in Italy no person speaks latin for reasons distinctive from reading, custom or some particular style of jobs.

Nowadays, people in Italy speak Italian. In antiquity they spoke Latin though.
But let's not forget that Vatican City, even if it's an independent country, is still geographically in Italy. It has Latin as an official language...

Virtually nobody speaks Latin anymore in everyday life. Some priests still conduct mass in Latin and it is still used in science, but not as a conversational language. Other languages have evolved from Latin, such as Italian, Spanish and French.

Deanshot: The English language isn't considered a Romance language (and neither is Latin... Romance languages all came from Latin, so it doesn't really count), but if you haven't noticed, English has a ton of Latin based words. The grammar is definitely more German though.

they speak italian, but italian came from latin, so its really close. other languages like french, spanish, and english also came from latin. latin is an unspoken language, but of course u can still learn it at some schools.
and in response to deanshotgf7... english, yes it is a germanic derieved language, but we also use many words which came from latin. alot of our vocabulary comes from latin, so i just said it came from latin.

No, it's Italian, which is a latin-based "romance" language.

Italian is a derivative of "vugar" or street Latin. So many dialects developed,the had to be combined politcally.In the early nineteen hundreds.
