Who talks Latin?

[claymore]

Was Latin ever the national language of any country?

[tigerlily11]

I might be wrong but I think the Romans used it. So that would be Italy.
It is still used a lot in certain professions such as the law and the medical profession.

[Lil O'lady]

If you take the Roman empire as a country then they used Latin as a 'universal language' although in everyday use people probably continued to speak local languages. This offical Latin evolved gradually into French, Italian, Spanish, Catalan and other languages known collectively as the 'romance' languages. And as Tigerlily points out, Latin was the writing used by those who could read and write ie priests and monks, so Latin continued to be the language used by law, medicine and politics in some cases right up to today.

I believe it's still the official language of the Vatican City, which technically qualifies as a country.

Good point Steve, it's an often overlooked fact but it was Mussolini who conferred nation status upon the Vatican when he was overthrown Hitler wanted to take it by force "and get rid of all of the swine" which is ironic because Pope Pius xii was seemingly quite fond of Nazism.
