Recent Latin is the form of Latin used from the late nineteenth century down to the present. Unlike all previous varieties of Latin, it is neither used as a living language nor as a textual vehicle for literature, philosophy, and science; instead, it is primarily used as a form of entertainment, practiced among a small group of Latin devotees. For other uses, see Latins and Latin (disambiguation). ...

Decline of New Latin
The New Latin of the 17th to 19th centuries had become otiose by 1900, confined to a few very technical areas (e.g., botany) where it functioned as a code, capable of only very limited types of expression, and not as a fully functional language. In other fields (e.g. anatomy or law) where Latin had been widely used, it survived only in technical phrases and terminology. The last survivals of New Latin to convey non-technical information appear in the use of Latin to cloak passages and expressions deemed too indecent (in the 19th century) to be read by children, the lower classes, or (most) women — intending to shrink readership, not expand it. Such passages appear in translations of foreign texts and in works on folklore, anthropology, and psychology, e.g. Krafft-Ebing's Psychopathia Sexualis (1886). New Latin (or Neo-Latin) is a post-medieval version of Latin, now used primarily in International Scientific Vocabulary cladistics and systematics. ...

Emergence of Recent Latin The emergence of Recent Latin can be traced back at least to the late nineteenth century, when different Latin periodicals flourish, which advocate the use of Latin as an international language. Alternative meaning: Nineteenth Century (periodical) (18th century — 19th century — 20th century — more centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 19th century was that century which lasted from 1801-1900 in the sense of the Gregorian calendar. ...
Between 1889 and 1895 Karl Heinrich Ulrichs published in Italy his Alaudæ[1], which found continuity in the Vox Urbis: de litteris et bonis artibus commentarius[2], published by the architect and engineer Aristide Leonori from 1898, twice a month, until 1913, one year before the outbreak of World War I. “The Great War †redirects here. ...
Soon after the end of World War II, the movement bounced back with renewed force, yet again as an attempt at a cultural amalgam based in the long Latin tradition, and aiming towards a more integrated Europe, hand in hand with other pan-European movements like the one originating the present European Union, which started around the same time. It may have also taken strength from the example of the revival of the Hebrew language which had been successful in the State of Israel. One of its foundational moments was the first International Conference for living Latin (Congrès international pour le Latin vivant) held at Avignon (France) in 1956.

Recent Latin is characterized by the general adoption of the classical pronunciation of Latin as restored by the best specialists in the area, like Prof. Edgar H. Sturtevant (The Pronunciation of Greek and Latin, Chicago Ares Publishers Inc. 1940) and Prof. W. Sidney Allen (Vox Latina, A Guide to the Pronunciation of Classical Latin, Cambridge University Press 1965), who were just perfecting a learned tradition which can be traced back to Erasmus's De recta Latini Græcique sermonis pronuntiatione dialogus and even Alcuin's De orthographia. Desiderius Erasmus in 1523 Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus (also Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam) (October 27, probably 1466 – July 12, 1536) was a Dutch humanist and theologian. ...

Spoken Latin Most users of Recent Latin promote its use as a spoken language, a movement that dubs itself "Living Latin". Among the proponents of spoken Latin, some promote the active use of the language to make learning Latin both more enjoyable and more efficient, in this respect drawing upon the methodologies of instructors of modern languages. Others pursue a more radical approach, supporting the revival of Latin as a language of international academic, perhaps even scientific and diplomatic, communications (as it was in Europe and European colonies through Middle Ages until the early 19th century), or as an international auxiliary language. However, as a language native to no people, this movement has not received support from any government, national or supranational. Language teaching has gone through an important evolution in the recent decades and many different principles have been described. ...

Latin in science Up to World War 1, scholastic Latin was the main professional language in some exact sciences e.g. in medicine, veterine, pharmacy, and zoology with many periodicals, itineraries, and important monographs written in Latin; now it persisted there chiefly in related Latin nomenclature of animals, drugs, illnesses, anatomy, etc. An actual exception is Botany where full Latin texts strongly persisted for two millennia up to nowadays as the official scientific language; so new original discoveries in plants for their obligatory recognizing and authorizing also now must be published in Latin, or at least with an added Latin summary (otherwise are neglected as laymen popular texts). Nearly unique international organisations officially promoting use of Latin now are the world botanical associations, and in the main botanical symposia a spoken Latin is the alternative official language even today.
Therefore the most recognized recent periodicals in scientific botany on the world level are these ones with new discoveries printed in Latin context, e.g. "Taxon" for all plants, and "Mycotaxon" especially for Fungi. There appeared also newer monographs for grammar, syntax and glossary of scientific Latin; the most used and detailed one is e.g. by W.T. Stearn: Botanical Latin (London 1973, 566 p.). During 20th century appeared some hundreds of botanical articles and books completely written in Latin, and also many thousands ones with added Latin digests. Even now in start of 21st century, in each year appear dozens of new botanical discoveries supplied at least by a Latin summary; thus botany persisted today as the main public field of the official use of a modern Latin language for the next future.
Original literary production
Poetry The use of the Latin language in poetry never fully disappeared, and contemporary Latin literature has produced, without interruption from the Renaissance to the present, a series of very interesting Latin poets, including Arrius Nurus, Geneviève Immè, Alanus Divutius, Anna Elissa Radke, Ianus Novak, Thomas Pekkanen, and others.

Church Latin Latin is to this day the official language of the Vatican State, and so a body of mostly theological work has continued to be written in Latin, as all official documents of the Roman Catholic Church have to be consigned to Latin. This is done by a specific "Latin Letters" section of the Secretariat of State of the Vatican, its most prominent figure being Latin lover Reginald Foster[citation needed]. Up until the 1960s, Roman Catholic priests studied theology from Latin textbooks, and the language of instruction in many seminaries was also Latin. Latin was still spoken in recent international gatherings of Roman Catholic leaders, such as the Second Vatican Council and is still use at the papal conclave to elect a new Pope, but it plays a less prominent role (liturgically and instructionally) in current Roman Catholicism. Ecclesiastical Latin remains distinct in pronunciation from the Latin used by aficionados of Recent Latin.
