Why isn't Latin language added as official and national language. It is pretty well known that Catholic church used and still uses Latin in liturgy and amongst pontificate.
Papal States also had Latin language as official language 86.124.126.204 (talk) 00:07, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Being the liturgical language of the Catholic Church does not make it the official language of the Vatican, nor can it be a national language as the Vatican is not a nation or nation-state. The Fundamental Law of Vatican City State, the closest thing they have to a constitution, does not list any official languages. Being a city-state inside of Italy however, the de facto language in day to day affairs remain Italian. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 01:27, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Mainly Italian, the new version of the Fundamental Law enacted in 2023 currently only exists in Italian. Most people who work in the Vatican are Italian citizens, so it is kind of a given. That being said, media publications tend to be in several major languages. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 03:05, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is simply not true. Swiss guards aren't Italian. Priests and bishops are not all Italian. You don't know anything about Vatican of Catholic Church clearly 86.124.126.204 (talk) 20:37, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also Vatican is the only country which has an ATM in Latin because Latin is official there. Why would they have an ATM in Latin the only country which does that if it wasn't official. Also Popes are not required to know Italian and most popes have not been italian since Papal States. The head of the state is the Pope how can the head of state be required to know Italian if he isn't one. 86.124.126.204 (talk) 20:42, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
