It's different.
There are latin speakers in the Vatican for example.
"De facto" (ops... latin) this is not the "classic" latin language but
it's a modified language ("ecclesiatic" latin) which can be considered
like an artificial language.
For this reason it can be compared with the Esperanto and the wikinews
can be accepted because:
"/If the proposal is for an artificial language such as Esperanto
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto>, it must have a reasonable
degree of recognition as determined by discussion".
/In any case a community can be present
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin#Modern_use_of_Latin).
