  Catalan language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Catalan IPA: [ˌkʰætəlˈæn] (Català IPA: [kətə'la] or [kata'la]) is a Romance language, the national language of Andorra and co-official in the Spanish autonomous communities of Balearic Islands, Valencia (under the name Valencian) and Catalonia.
According to the Ethnologue, its specific classification is a member of the East Iberian branch of the Ibero-Romance branch of the Gallo-Iberian branch of the Western sub complex of the Italo-Western complex of the Romance group of the Italic branch of the Indo-European language family.
The language was spread to the south by the Reconquista in several phases: Barcelona and Tarragona, Lleida and Tortosa, the ancient Kingdom of Valencia, and transplanted to the Balearic Islands and l'Alguer (Alghero).

 Modern Romance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Modern Romance is a 1981 film written and directed by Albert Brooks.
It's all because selfish Robert is a bit of a self-involved neurotic who can't quite decide if their relationship is meant to be, mainly because he's not sure if she's the one or there's someone else.
So Robert breaks off their relationship only to find that modern romance isn't as easy as it seems, and the people you love might be the ones you constantly hurt the most.

Romance is that giddy, heady rush of emotions that happens early on in a relationship, usually occurring after the first meeting but before the restraining order.
Romance is very important for the Modern Bachelor, because it is the first step towards finding a woman with which he is willing to spend the rest of his entire evening.
This is not to imply that the Modern Bachelor should be entirely a love 'em and leave 'em playboy, but speaks to the fact that romance is by its very nature ephemeral.

 The Romance Languages
The Romance languages are derived from Vulgar Latin (or Romance) language, which was an ancient Italic language of the Indo-European family.
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 speech was influenced by the languages of foreign invaders (the so called superstrate): Visigoths in Spain, Suebi in Galicia and Portugal, Franks and Burgundians in Gaul, Langobards in Italy, Arabs in Southern Spain and Slavs on the Balkans.

 The Modern Epic Romance
Before the rise of modern science, let's say before the sixteenth century, people lived in an enchanted world that was literally filled with the forces of good and evil: saints and angels, demons and sprites, spiteful elves and homely goblins.
but modern life goals are no match for the mystery and enchantment we've lost in the quest for a 'safe and comfortable' and totally explained life.
And isn't it a remarkable observation on today's society that one of the few places that people can find mystery and romance and adventure, one of the few places that people can once again engage in the quest and in the eternal conflict between good and evil (apart from religion), is labelled 'fantasy'.
