Why are French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Romanian sometimes referred to as "Romance Languages"?
(1 point)
The term "Romance Languages" refers to a group of languages that evolved from Latin, the language of the Roman Empire. These languages include French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Romanian. The term "Romance" comes from the Latin word "Romanicus," meaning "of Rome." These languages developed from Vulgar Latin, which was spoken by the common people in different regions of the Roman Empire. Over time, Vulgar Latin evolved into distinct languages with their own grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, but they still have many similarities due to their common Latin roots. Hence, these languages are collectively referred to as Romance Languages.
