Update!

Salve,

It was recently brought to my attention that Latin is still being used as a spoken lanugage in parts of Switzerland.  Much to my disappointment this is not so. The alleged Latin is in fact a language called Romansh.  It is heavly influenced by Latin, but nevertheless is not Latin.  Still, I suggest you check it out for yourselves.  The site I’m providing is from Wikipedia, my apologies for a lack of a more academically accepted site, but I believe it is a good place to start.  As I understand it, Romansh is said to be “the people’s Latin” which has most likely led to the confusion.

Vive Latina!
