Did you know...

.. that French is indeed a romance language. There are five Romance languages. You might be able to guess what a few of the other ones are , definitely not German LOL, but you probably wouldn't be surprised to know that italian, Spanish and Portuguese are three more. However, the last one might not make sense. That is, until you understand why they're called romance languages. The romance they're referring to is not the type that has anything to do with love or passion. Romance has to do with Romans because the five Romance languages are based on Latin, and the fifth one is Romanian. 🤔

Makes sense. The Romans were a large empire. Stands to reason some of their Language would have melded into other dialects...

@Thevy29 but where did the Romans go? They didn't all turn to Italians did they? Maybe they turned swiss, and that's why Switzerland is neutral and, why they guard the Vatican because they also turned Roman Catholic and I think the Catholic priests are the only ones that still speak Latin Maybe
