Latin didn’t disappear from science overnight. Its use declined gradually over a long period. Here’s a breakdown:
Dominant Language: Even after the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century AD, Latin remained the dominant language of science for centuries.
Until: Most agree that by the early 19th century, regional languages (including some derived from Latin) had largely replaced Latin in scientific communication.
Gradual Shift: The shift away from Latin wasn’t abrupt. Scientific discoveries were increasingly published in vernacular languages throughout the 17th and 18th centuries.

  Here are some additional points to consider:
  Newton’s Case: Sir Isaac Newton’s Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687) is often cited as one of the last major scientific works written in Latin.
  Lingering Use: Even after the 19th century, Latin continued to be used in some scientific contexts, especially for naming species or formal classifications.
