There are tiny communities who use recreational Latin today. Here's the Vicipaedia article on the telephonum: https://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephonum

But that doesn't really constitute a good argument that there is a Latin word for telephones.



Given that telephone is Ancient Greek (though obviously coined more recently), I don't see why there shouldn't be a Latin word for it.


Thank you, beautiful refutation of an argumentative quarralous, I would even say bad faith, assertion, which we see entirely to often now imo.


I had no idea this existed, and you just made my day with it.
