I think there is some confusion between inflection and declension here.
Latin itself has both but the four major languages derived from it (French,
Italian, Spanish and Portuguese) only have inflections, and no declensions.

Examples of modern languages that have both inflections and declensions:
Russian (six declensions) and German (four).

Of course, a lot of other modern languages have constructs that don't fit in
either of these categories (e.g. Japanese).
