It was resurrected by the church centuries after the spoken language died out
And even then, I doubt many in the Vatican spoke Latin in their day to day conversations with one another. It was solely used for religious ceremonies and as linguia Franca for academic writings
And I believe French rather quickly replaced Latin as the lingua Franca for academic types across Europe
No one knows what true native Latin actually sounded like because of course no recording possibly exists
It's even worse than that.
