	European languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Romance languages decended from the Vulgar Latin spoken across most of the lands of the Roman Empire.
		The Finno-Ugric languages are a subfamily of the Uralic language family.
		The Basque language of the northern Iberian Peninsula is a language isolate, and as such is not closely related to any other language.

	University of Helsinki
		The fields of study at the Department of Romance Languages are French philology, Italian philology, and the Ibero-Romance languages (Spanish, Portuguese, Galician and Catalan).
		Ibero-Romance language publications have appeared in the publication series Opuscula of the Ibero-American Centre, which was formerly part of the department.
		The studies are useful especially for students of Romance languages, but the subject is also well-suited as a minor for others who wish to broaden their language skills.

	Going Romance 2002 - Abstract
		To this end, we conclude that such "exotic" systems are not the exclusive domain of languages spoken in the remotest parts of the globe: they exist in corners of the Romance-speaking world that have not garnered the attention of theoretical linguists.
		This paper demonstrates that at least one Romance variety—the Portuguese spoken on the Azorean island of São Miguel—presents an example of an "exotic" vowel system living in the shadow of a better-known standard language.
		As such, by pursuing acoustic accounts of non-standard speech Romance languages, we can contribute to a fuller account of the range of possibilities in human speech.

	Catalan Language
		The legal framework on language in Spain is to be found in the 1978 Constitution, mainly in article 3, and in the statutes of autonomy of Catalonia, Valencia, the Balearic Islands and Aragon.
		It is implemented in Catalonia through the 1998 law on language policy (which replaces the 1983 law), in the Balearic Islands through the 1986 law on language policy and in Valencia through the 1983 law on the use and teaching of Valencian.
		The official language of the kingdom of Aragon between 1137 and 1749, Catalan is now co-official (with Spanish) in Catalonia, Valencia and the Balearic Isles.

	Darwin-L Message Log 35: 31-65 (July 1996)
		Italian, Provencal and the Ibero-Romance languages, as has been pointed out, form a "genetic continuum." French--and other standardized languages, on the other hand, might be compared to a "domesticated breed," in that an effort has been made to fix its characteristics so that, obstensibly, its genetic evolution has been frozen in time.
		In the particular case of language, I think there is a factor of choice in the selection of vocabulary (for pidgins and creoles at least--but some creolists may disagree with me on this), but there is little deliberate choice with regard to grammar.
		In the 19th century, the tree (genealogical) model of language relationships was challenged by the wave model, in great part because a tree model did not allow for further influence after the split of a node into two or more daughters.

	The Romance Languages
		The mutual likeness of the Romance languages is determined mainly by their common origin from Vulgar Latin and is manifested by a lot of vocables and forms descending according to recognizable phonetic laws from it.
		The Romance languages are derived from Vulgar Latin (or Romance) language, which was an ancient Italic language of the Indo-European family.
		Moreover, in the course of their history the Romance languages were under the permanent influence of the written Latin.

	Ingl.html
		To start, all romance languages, and European languages in general, have received a series of loans coming from the classical languages.
		What we do not know is the origin of all of these words and what precedences are found in similar languages, that is to say, other romance languages, which like Galician come from Latin.
		Depending on the language "chulo" can mean the man who prostitutes himself, a type of "macho-homosexual" or, now in general, any characterization of a homosexual (this is the case in Brazilian Portuguese).

		In particular, I think that the basic question to be addressed concerns the possibility of determining phonological categories in the intonation of languages where tone does not play a distinctive role in the phonological system, as it happens in most European languages, and in all Romance varieties.
		As it has already turned out from e-mails of other members of this Romance group, we all agree as for the problem of finding out what belongs to phonology as far as intonation is concerned.
		AM theory of intonation assumes that two tones and their combination are sufficient to describe and interpret the intonation of different (all?) languages.

	EuroCom - European intercomprehension in language groups
		Examples from the Romance languages highlight how links can be used between the pronunciation of the bridging language(s) or a source language and their graphic realization in related languages.
		These are often majority languages in their own area of usage, but have been belittled or at least disadvantaged by the historically developed centralism and artificial values of a marché linguistique.
		This approach is used to sharply differentiate the individual language from the other related languages, so that the learner can begin to identify the particular features of each individual language against the background of the similarities and interrelations emphasised by using the seven sieves.

	Questions to Spaniards and Portuguese people. - Stormfront White Nationalist Community
		Old Castilian was the Romance language spoken by the less romanized people of the North, Cantabrians and Vasconians.
		When the Normans conquered England in 1066 the language was Old English, basically a form of German but with Norman French as the language of the Court and the conquerors it was radically transformed into Middle English over the course of three or four centuries.
		The harsh pronounciations typical of this language derives from the ancient Cantabrian and Basque languages, like "j" which is pronounced like the Dutch "g" in "gud" or Scottich Gaelic "ch" in "loch", or "c" which is pronounced like English "th" with a slight difference.

		All it was was an excuse to turn up their noses at the other Ibero-Romance languages and their speakers.
		Language variation, for instance, the immense and diverse weirdnesses of real-world language.
		The other major hurdle is the raft of people (often chronicled in Language Log) who have a stake in scorning people on the basis of attributes of their speech and writing.

	latins vs latino-americans (page 2) Antimoon Forum
		But yes, the southern Italian languages, Italian included, are probably the group closest to what I'd grouped as the South Romance language.
		Note that what I referred to as "Sardinian" is actually just one of the languages spoken on Sardinia, which should be called Logudorese, and I'd include Corsican also amongst the South Romance languages (even though I've heard some say that it's actually very close to Italian proper).
		The other Romance languages would usually have cognates of the Romanian words, though some have changed more from Latin.

		Indeed, it might well have been titled ''Romance Phonology et al.'' for the thread that connects the articles WandC have included under the theme of 'variation' with those that are phonologically oriented is a mighty fine one.
		She concludes on the basis of data drawn from child language, language games and dialectal variation that ''speakers actually treat surface GV strings as belonging, as a unit, to the nucleus of the syllable'' (p.
		Although the language does contain a number of exceptions, such as pipi < pisser 'to piss' and fifi < fille 'girl', the vast majority of these are clearly lexicalized since such configurations are almost never produced in invented forms.

	The Castilian reflexes of ABHORRERE/ABHORRESCERE: a case-study in valency
		The second is the predilection of the Ibero-Romance languages for verb-forms which have been 'strengthened' by the inchoative suffix -ESCERE[14], in the light of which the appearance of a form deriving from ABHORRESCERE[15] is not especially remarkable.
		The only causative/non-causative relation that is to any extent marked by morphology in the Romance languages is that between a causative and a corresponding intransitive or mediopassive non-causative, eg Castilian cerrar 'to shut', ie 'to cause to shut (intransitive)', cerrarse 'to shut (intransitive)' or 'to get shut (mediopassive)'.
		Sometimes a fossilised past participle remains as an adjective in the language, thus fallido 'vain, unsuccessful', florido 'flowery', and (as a noun) guarida 'den, lair'.

	the other Romance languages - Stormfront White Nationalist Community
		I can also understand a bit the Occitan (Provençal, Lengadocian, Gascon) languages through Catalan, since Catalan, though being an Ibero-Romance, had a strong early influence from it.
		The strange bit here is that they do so through Castilian, which is a Romance language that retains some non-Romance sounds and words of the ancient languages in Iberia.
		Romanian inherited also a lot of Latin words which can not be found in any other Romance Language.

	Grenoble paper
		Romance languages and dialects show a wide range of suppletive patterning in the verb meaning 'go', built up in various waves of morphological change and replacement from three etymologically distinct verbs:
		In this section we return to Romance and consider a complex historical scenario in which periphrasis and suppletion (in the narrow sense) intertwine, and thus where the modelling of the stages needs free passage in both directions across the morphology-syntax boundary.
		This example therefore combines the lesson of the Romance 'go' verbs that suppletive and non-suppletive formations must be treated as equivalent with the lesson of the Kashmiri data that inflectional and periphrastic forms must likewise find a common mode of representation in the grammar.

		In Italo- and Balkan Romance (the Latin province of Dacia, now Romania, being the main source of the latter, although other dialects of Romanian spoken throughout the Balkan Peninsula form parts of this subgrouping), where the loss of final -s negated the accusative plural, the nominative plural in -i and -ae remained (It.
		Changes and shifts in pronunciation are common to every language around the world, and their roots in Latin date back to the earliest recorded texts.
