My son took Latin for a couple years and I took Latin for Medical Terminology in college. But only scholarly professors are semi- fluent anymore. Back then it was THE language of the learned. But it eventually kept learning away from the common man. I bet printing press killed it for good when everyone could have a book in their own language. Not just very expensive ones scribed by monks.
