New Latin (or Neo-Latin) is a post-medieval version of Latin, now used primarily in International Scientific Vocabulary cladistics and systematics.
The term came into widespread use towards the end of the 1890s among linguists and scientists.
Classicists use the term "Neo-Latin" to describe the use of the Latin language
for any purpose, scientific or literary, after the Renaissance (for which
purpose they often use the date 1600).
Compare: Latino sine flexione.
