My point. It is a root language, not conversational. Very useful for understanding (many, not all) other languages or botanical latin, medical terms etc. But, still beautiful.

Latin is everywhere, but linguistically is still considered a dead language. Nothing changes in Latin, as living languages evolve. There are no native Latin speakers, and nobody alive, or who has been in centuries, knows what the language truly sounds like.
Sorry.

Correct, but we don't speak it in conversation. Still, it is a beautiful name!

The actual song title is "Down the Dolce Vita", and is the 8th track on Peter Gabriel's untitled 1977 album, his first released after leaving Genesis. No, it wasn't Cold Play.

No need to say sorry, John. That's what I was trying to say, it's still widelly used but not spoken
. Widely used in many fields but not as a living language, I agree.
