	Romance languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All Romance languages descend from Vulgar Latin, the language of soldiers, settlers, and slaves of the Roman Empire, which was substantially different from the Classical Latin of the Roman literati.
		In spite of multiple influences from pre-Roman languages and from later invasions, the phonology, morphology, lexicon, and syntax of all Romance languages are predominantly derived from Vulgar Latin.
		Most languages are written with a mixture of two distinct but phonetically identical variants or "cases" of the alphabet: "uppercase" (or "capital letters"), derived from Roman stone-carved letter shapes, and "lowercase", derived from Medieval quill pen handwriting and adapted by printers in the 15th and 16th centuries.

	Language Miniatures 119: The Romance languages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The Romance languages are spread all the way across Europe from the Iberian peninsula in the west to the Balkans in the east, covering Spain and Portugal, France, Italy and parts of Switzerland, on to Romania deep in non-Romance territory.
		The Romance languages are uniquely interesting for anyone studying how language works, because we have the rare privilege of being able to follow the entire development of all these languages out of Latin, as the Roman empire spread out across vast areas.
		When a single language (or closely similar dialects) gets scattered over a wide area and these local forms of speech are out of all communication with each other, each changes in its own way with the result that over a millennium or two they gradually become unintelligible to each other.

In other words, the nobility of Spain had been familiar with reformed Castilian speech and its written form 200 years before it became the official language and a royal academy was established to preserve and refine it.
		From its inception, the Academia was intent on both institutionalizing the dialect of Castilian on the peninsula and safeguarding the purity of the language for posterity.
		These figures make the official language of the Spanish State, the most widely spoken Romance language, an expressive instrument of a community which embraces around the world and which is spoken by people of many different ethnic backgrounds.
