Here are Latin versions (most with audio snippets) of all component prayers of the Most Holy Rosary, including all Joyful, Sorrowful & Glorious Mystery announcements. Most long vowels are indicated with macron symbols ( ´ ) and this page should be used in conjunction with the previous post How to Pray in Latin, which gives word by word translations, so to assist with a better understanding of what is actually being prayed, and some very basic explanations and directions about Latin.
It is assumed that you know how to pray the Rosary. If you do not, then YOU SHOULD! (!!!) *** At Fatima Our Blessed Mother lamented that multitudes of souls ‘fall into hell like snow-flakes’ and asked – directly – that the faithful wear the Brown Scapular and pray the Holy Rosary daily.
The Fatima Prayer is included and it should be understood that as this is not a traditional liturgical prayer, there are numerous renderings from the original Portuguese. A good discussion can be found on FishEaters.com and it is worthwhile noting the remark of one poster: “but … Our Lady wanted the much more personal/intimate ‘O my Jesus’ to be said as opposed to the rather formal/official ‘O Lord Jesus’.”
Also included in the closest recognised Latin equivalent of “O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine!” and an invocation to St. Joseph, which this poster adds at the conclusion of every decade; and, of course, the St.Michael Prayer which should be prayed always.
If this seems all too difficult, consider that if you can memorise the Ave Maria alone, over 70 per cent of your Rosary will be in Latin. Adding theGloria Patriadds a further 10 per cent.
All audio snippets taken from Boston-Catholic-Journal.com, where CD & MP3 recordings can be ordered or downloaded for free.

*** From the Desk of Yours’Truly:
(Monday, 10.08.2020, Anno Domini)
This post originally read, in the spirit of Christian admonishment (and thus piety, even if belied): “It is assumed that you know how to pray the Rosary. Shame on you if you do not.”and this caused some level of consternation, as the comments below give witness.
If you are a Catholic and someone enquires of you “Sir, if you please sir, how does one pray the Holy Rosary, sir?” you should without any mental straining nor need of external reference be able to gainfully instruct the well-meaning fellow on the order and composition of the prayer, its Mysteries and on which days (if not seasonal variations) these are contemplated. Moreover, one should be able to impart some essential, antecedent knowledge of the background and history of this august prayer – why it is ‘Mary’s Psalter‘ – and should further be able to reach into one’s pocket and give practical instruction on the Rosary Beads procured therein.
In addition, one should without hesitation encourage the young chap to enrol himself in the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary, the arch-confraternity under the care of the Dominican Order (N.B. the ‘Rosary’ is the Dominican Rosary),thereby availing his eternal soul of the benefits and indulgences attached to such membership.
One will only become familiar with the Holy Rosary by praying it and with its Salvific Mysteries by immersed contemplation. The Holy Rosary is the weapon against eviland a path to salvation (5th Promise: “The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary shall not perish”).
In the personal fancying of Your’s truly, the state of the world is a function of the state of the Church.
Have a look around you.
And having done so, pick up your weaponised beads daily and, to the everlasting glory of Almighty God, pray the Most Holy Rosary. Your Rosary will make a difference.
Every. Single. Day.
