    Should I learn Latin?

    I heard it is making a comeback and could be a widely spoken language again.

    I think the only reason to learn latin is if you are studying some kind of science. Other than that, I dont think it's a practical language to be learning this day and age. A more pracital language I think would be Manderin, Pungabi, Japanese, or Spanish.

                  This was me being as sarcastic as it gets.

                  Doctors learn it, they prescribe medicine using it. Pharmacists use it to read those prescriptions. Other than that only the Romans use it still.

                          Lawyers use it, too... the most famous being Res ipsa loquitur (in torts)
                          Res judicata (in civil procedure) and Res Gestae (formerly famous phrase in evidence law)

                                  Doctors don't really use Latin. They use Latin words, but they only use those words as specific medical terms, thus very often changing their meaning from what it was in the time of the Romans. The average Roman citizen or medieval scholar would have a hard time understanding most medical terms. On the other hand, most doctors' knowledge of Latin only extends to the medical terms they know, and without things like grammar and a basic vocabulary one can hardly be considered to "know" a language.

                                  On the other hand, learning Latin is essential for many scholars, since it was the lingua franca of Europe up until the 18th century. Historians and those with an interest in history can't really do without it.
