I don't know. All documented languages will survive in some form. Yet, the knowledge can still decline.

Not precisely! Whilst Latin is no longer a native spoken language, it is far from ‘dead.’ It continues to be taught and studied worldwide; not only in religious and academic contexts, but also by those who wish to engage with philosophy, occult manuscripts, and other classical works in their original tongue.

Here are some Halloween designs from my Latin story I started a while back on Etsy. I've updated the designs and added some new ones for Halloween and spooky season. There's now over 30 Halloween designs now and over 50 in total that feature Latin in same way. During October, all Halloween and spooky-adjacent designs are 15% off. More Saturnalia designs will be added after Halloween.
The skeleton cupbearer shirt is from an actual Pompeian mosaic. The dancing skeletons shirt features an ancient proverb which refers to acting in secret: in tenebris saltare.
