Latin is very much a base language. A very large number of modern day languages have come from Latin in one way or another. The only RL nation that really uses Latin anymore is Vatican City but several nations in NS still have Latin as their official language, making it by no means a dead tongue. A large number of national mottos are in Latin.
Most nations where Latin is an official language are based on classical or neoclassical cultures, heavily influenced by the Roman Empire.
Latin in Sozy, however not used commonly, and barely heard on the busy streets of Sozy. Latin is the Lingua Franca of many Sozian universities. Being distinguished as a real educated language in Sozy compared to more regular languages, it is seen as highly important for any person of intelligence and wisdom to know it. Besides universities, in the higher healthcare sector, both local languages and Latin are used.
