Oh, I recognize it as a reference to English. But I don't think Latin can work the same way.

The "sola lingua bona est lingua mortua" version is listed as "Dog Latin" (or mock Latin) in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin_phrases_(S)

(Perhaps "unum bonum lingua mortua" would work, as translate.google.com's advises ;-)
