Latin is an official language of the Vatican. Its website and even its ATMs can be accessed in Latin. http://www.vatican.va/ However, no nation or linguistic group of people still speak Latin as a native tongue. Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian are the direct descendants of Latin and original Latin words and grammatical constructions can still be found in them. Some individuals, however, still keep Latin alive as a spoken language. In America's largest cities, (and I assume in Europe as well) you can find at least one group that meets to speak in Latin. Latinists meet together on Skype to practice oral Latin. The University of Kentucky, among other schools, has courses in speaking Latin. The Finnish national radio broadcasts the news over the internet in Latin. http://www.yleradio1.fi/nuntii/ There are websites and podcasts devoted to learning oral Latin. http://latinum.mypodcast.com. Today, you can find Latin speakers if you look -- you just will not find any native Latin speakers.
Latin is considered a "dead" language as it is no longer spoken natively by any community. However, Latin is still used in the Catholic Church, legal terminology, scientific names, and some academic fields. There are also enthusiasts and scholars who study and speak Latin as a second language.
