If you are assigning labels by age, then yes, Lisp is latin.
If you are assigning labels by the role the language plays in its environment then C would be latin since latin used to be the fundamental language for acedemic discourse -- just like C is the fundamental glue of which operating systems are made (granted that there have beein operating systems in Lisp, but these are extremely far from being commonplace).
Also, latin, by virtue of being a dead language, doesn't have the richness of the english language -- which is more akin to the richness of Lisp compared to C.

Okay, so the analogy sucked. :-)
