What is the adverb for "Latin" (the classical language) in Russian? I need to use it to say something like:
Я говорю по-______
Ya gavoryu pa-_____
I speak Latin(ly)
Or I read it, write it, etc.

Я говорю по-латинский – I speak Latin.
Я читаю по-латинский – I read Latin.
Я пишу по-латинский – I write Latin.
The previous answer по латинской языке is incorrect. You could say по латинскому языку, but I would go with the answers above.
You would say по латинской языкe (po latinskoy yazikye) using the instrumental case.
Латинский = Latin (adj) (Masculine declesion).
Латинский язык = Latin language (masculine)
Латинская поэзия = Latin poetry (feminine)
Латинское слово = Latin word (neuter).
Hope that helps.
Russian for Latin will be латынь. Russian for Latin language will be латинский язык.
I speak Latin = "я говорю на латинском языке" or "я говорю по-латыни".
I read Latin = "я читаю на латинском языке" or "я читаю по-латыни".
I speak Latin = "я говорю на латинском языке" or "я говорю по-латыни".
The variant "Я говорю (читаю, пишу) по-латински" (not латинский) is grammatically correct but not so much in use.
