Note
A plural that only ever counts people, never the language: Latin the tongue takes no plural, so this form always names a group. Which group depends on the setting. In historical writing it means the Italic tribe of Old Latium or the people of ancient Rome. Elsewhere it means adherents of Roman Catholic practice, the peoples of Romance-speaking Europe, or people from Latin America. Let the period or topic around it decide.
