'''Caphiric Latin''' (Caphiric Latin: '''''latīna caphirium''''') is a [[Latinic people|Latinic]] language spoken by Caphirians in the [[Imperium of Caphiria]]. Caphiric Latin is a direct branch of [[classical Latin]] and is primarily mutually intelligible as it shares the base vocabulary, forms, and syntax, while at the same time incorporating informal elements which had always been with the language and infusing it with an updated vocabulary for modernity's sake.

Latin has always been the official language of Caphiria and through the power of the Caphirian Republic and Principate became the dominant language across [[Sarpedon]]. [[Vulgar Latin]], a less standard and literary version of the language developed into what is now the Romance languages. Caphiria on the other hand, continued to use the Latin language and adapted it throughout time and ultimately created what is known as Caphiric Latin.

While official statistics are unclear, Caphiria boasts that Caphiric Latin has approximately 1.2 billion native speakers and ranks among the world's most natively spoken language even though it only has one official user. The reason for the unclear statistics is that The Imperium dictates that any of its possessions or conquered territory adopt Caphiric Latin as its ''lingua franca'', which means that the population of Caphiric Latin speakers can range anywhere from 1.2 to 1.8 billion factoring in Caphiria's historical hyper-imperialism and spread of its culture.
While official statistics are unclear, Caphiria boasts that Caphiric Latin has approximately xx million native speakers.
