However, new vocabulary conforms with the grammar of Classical Latin. Note than even Classical Latin borrowed words from other languages, but then reconfigured them to fit Latin grammar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Latin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary_Latin An example of a neo Latin word is Vicipædia “Wikipedia”. Obviously there was no Wikipedia in the ancient world, but the current word Vicipædia is inflected as if it were a Latin 1st declension noun (e.g. in in Vicipaediam for “in Wikipedia”). https://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicipaedia:Pagina_prima Hope this helps.
