So:

Latin is not immutable (After all I doubt the word for ATM or checking account was around before banking)

Latin is not Dead (its spoken today)

Latin is universal (so is Japanese so its not really a huge advantage there)

The only thing you are saying is because the catholic church uses latin it has special power over satan..

Latin does NOT change - the word is literally "scidula" (little ticket) for the ATM card, and you can cognio a rationem because those words are perfectly good Latin for "recognize" and "account".

And the Romans most definitely had checking accounts. How do you think they kept track of their money?

Japanese, however, is a national language closely associated with a particular people (as they will tell you every chance they get.)

Latin is only associated from a nationality point of view with the Romans, who are long gone and replaced by the Italians.
