Latin is a language that originated in the 7th century BC and grew with the conquests of the [[Roman Empire]] throughout the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD.
==Historical Usage==
The language has historically been spoken in [[Rome]] and was the language used by Roman politicians throughout the [[Roman Empire]] (although the common language of most of the people was rarely Latin). Ever since, many [[Crusader States]] considered the language as a 'ceremonial language' but it was never in common use among ordinary people. This is likely due to the Roman empire among the first empires to adopt Christianity as its [[State Religion|state religion]], but most definitely the first major empire.
==Modern usage==
Today, [[Vatican City]] recognizes the language as one of its official languages. However, this is not to say that the [[Holy See]] holds the language as 'sacred' because it does not. It is the only nation with Latin as an official language and also the only nation with Latin spoken at a regular interval.
