over the difficulty in learning Latin. First it killed the Romans and now it's killing me.

angel, The languages are called ‘romance languages’ because they derive from Latin which was spoken by ROMANS. Romance ~ Romans.

Some people think that Latin it means that a person is born in Latin America. Before opening your mouth and give the wrong answer, learn, nowadays there is easier ways to learn.

French is a mixture of Latin & the Celtic( Gaelic language)

They are not called “Romance” languages but “Roman” as they all originated from the early Roman language “latin”.

CyanJaguar62, yes I’m on Duolingo & on my 320 day! It’s extremely helpful since I’ve traveled many times to Mexico. I’m from Pittsburgh & this is where Duolingo has their home headquarters!

I've always considered Klingon to be the original romantic language

why are these languages called the Romance Languages? The correct answer, they can be traced back to Latin and do not state why they are called the romance language, in my opinion.
