Why are all the Botanical names are in Latin language?
All the Botanical names are in Latin language because name. Names created by an early botanist named Carl Von Linne-a Swede, who developed the naming process based on classifications of similarities called binomial system of nomenclature.He decided to express the names using Latin as the language. Latin was and is still a dead language because no one uses it therefore it remains constant.Plants or animals have their scientific name in Latin to reduce any regional confusions. Any scientific name remains constant whether it is said in England, Pakistan, Argentina or any other country. A Lobelia is Lobelia, no matter where it grows or how many local or regional common names might exist for it.Carl Von Linne even changed his name as Carolus Linnaeus.
