Dead language (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

latin

'dead language' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for latin that I've seen before include "Shakespeare's was small, according to Jonson" , "Parent language of French,Romanian" , "Language of Cicero" , "and 15 Down: Student area of Paris" , "Romantic language" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Independent, The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
