How Latin Became the Romance Languages

[@boraxmacconachie7082]

That was very interesting! Grātiās!

Gratias tibi ago!

3:33 i’ve noticed that you drop the letter t. When you say Latin you say La in

[@EasyLatin]

Yes, well, I grew up in the Midwest

[@cellopianopoetryhappinesst4326]

No excuse. You should set an example. 🙂

[@Richard-oo6pc]

The vulgar latin and spanish/italian are very similar. If you read it to me and didn't tell me it was latin I would assume you were just learning Spanish.

[@EasyLatin]

I feel the same way

[@ghenulo]

Vulgar Latin is unattested. It's mostly just reconstructions or things from Late Latin.

[@AlesadraOliveira-j2m]

and isn't Portuguese a Latin language? You didn't give anything as an example, just Spanish, Italian, Romanian and French.

[@ghenulo]

There are a lot of other Romance languages (Galician, Catalan, Occitan, Sardinian, etc.). They can't all be included.

Salvete! Im just beginning my Latin studies.

[@EasyLatin]

Salve! Good luck! Hopefully the lessons here will help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4i4naWCa6qSh7c

Who says that the “t” in “can’t go” is silent?

[@EasyLatin]

That's the way I hear it pronounced in America

[@mikesteele5935]

In some French verb construction it is hard for anlgophones to know whether à or de should go before an infinitive. Does Latin give any insight into this choice ?

[@EasyLatin]

Are you referring to phrases like, "commencer à parler" and "essayer de trouver"? If so, then no, Latin didn't use anything like de or à, just the two verbs. Even Spanish and Portuguese don't use "de" in the second phrase.

[@gj8683]

The loss of case endings and their replacement by articles and prepositions also demonstrates the transition from a synthetic language (Latin) to analytic languages (Spanish, French, Italian, etc.).

I think it's pronounced á-bluh-tiv when you are referring to the case name.

[@RalphSpoiledsport]

Isn't it "Romantic"?

She (English) is elle(French) not ella

where the hell is portuguese? Thumbs down

[@lizsalazar7931]

I don’t know why French is considered a Latin or romance language??? English has Latin vocabulary but that doesn’t make it Latin…….French is like if a German person tries to speak Latin and changes it. French seems more like a mixed language

[@danchr6833]

Sencillo, porque el francés evolucionó del latin vulgar y el inglés no. El francés sólo tiene más léxico germánico que las demás lenguas romances pero eso no lo hace una lengua germánica pq conserva su gramática romance. El inglés sin embargo a pesar de tener casi un 60 porciento de vocabulario latino su gramática es principalmente germánica.

[@lizsalazar7931]

@ si Frances es romance también inglés

[@PACotnoir1]

@@lizsalazar7931 more than 41% of English vocabulary comes from French (may it be from Normady or central) in comparison the words coming from saxon are less than 29%, but the grammatical forms remain Germanic or Scandinavian.
