Oddly enough, Latin language was very much alive here in Finland (of a entirely different language branch) up until last year, when the world's one and only classical Latin language weekly news programme, Nuntii Latini, was discontinued after 30 years on the air. Some 40,000 people regularly tuned in to the five-minute Friday evening bulletin on Yle Radio ("Radiophonia Finnica Generalis") and online, many from outside Finland and reportedly, with listeners even from the Vatican. A "dead" language, Latin was still declinable to report from the most historic catastrophies of our modern times: the Estonia ferry disaster, the Twin Towers in New York, and the Indian Ocean tsunami.
