What places still speak Latin?
The Latin language is a very romantic language and is spoken by some of the most romantic countries in the world. That includes Spain, France, Romania, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, and Argentina.
Who was the last Latin speaker?
I read somewhere (perhaps on Quora) that Perre de Fermat was raised by servants whom his father instructed only to speak Latin to him, resulting in him being the last native speaker of Latin - and Classical Latin at that, or at least a variety of Latin pronounced with the Erasmian reconstructed pronunciation.
How many places still speak Latin?
Answer and Explanation: Latin is no longer a regularly spoken language today. When it is spoken, it is usually in the context of liturgical purposes for the Roman Catholic Church. The only country that would use this language on any kind of a regular basis would be Vatican City when mass is read.
