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).
