Italy: guys wait for Romania! Wait, where is Romania? Spain: I thought he was right behind you, what happened? France and Portugal look at each other in disbelief France: you had one job Italy! *Romania on other side of Europe*: Yo over here! Looks like we got separated by the sea of Slavs. Ok new plan guys. You go spread the word without me, and I'll just try to survive. Italy: ok man hang in there! (yeah he's totally not gonna make it) Fast forward through time Italy: Guys I found Romania, he's still alive! Portugal: No way! How? France to Romania: what happened man, are you ok? Romania: Da Italy, Portugal, France and Spain: Woah!

the romance languages are beyond fascinating. their influence spread so far across many countries- and into the future.

🇫🇷 🇪🇸 🇮🇹 🇵🇹 🇷🇴 🇻🇦 Somos um dos grupos linguísticos mais incríveis desse planeta Nossos idiomas são descendentes do Latim 🇻🇦

Maravilha! Nós latinos somos incríveis!

spanish: casa italian: casa romanian: casa portuguesse: casa catalan: casa french: MAISON /facepalm

There were also at one time Vulgar Latin/early Romance dialects in Britain and in North Africa, but these went extinct not long after the fall of Rome.

So sad to see how languages disappear due to the imposition of others. Occitan, what a great loss is about to come :( Let's keep it Llemosí !

You forgot to mention on that map other romance languages like arpitan, lumbaart, ligur, piamonteis, wallon, asturian, aragonese, ...which are currently in use!

Salut din România fraților latini.

Latin, the language of ancient Rome, is the mother of Romance languages, the most beautiful languages ​​in the world: Magnitudo Populi Romani in aeternitatem latura sit. (Latin 🌿SPQR🌿) La grandezza di Roma durerà per tutta l'eternità. (Italiano 🇮🇹) La grandeza de Roma perdurara toda la eternidad. (Español 🇪🇦) A grandeza de Roma durará toda a eternidade. (Portugués 🇵🇹) La grandeur de Rome perdurera pour toute l'éternité. (Français 🇲🇫) Măretia Grandoarea Romei va dura dăinui pentru eternitate. (Română 🇹🇩)

Romanians being connected to their brothers: :D Romanians when the slavs appear: D:

Los idiomas Romances son los idiomas mas bellos del mundo, porque descienden del Latin, el idioma de la Antigua Roma. Son herederos del legado de la Antigua Roma.

You forgot many Italian and Spanish "dialects" (which are actually languages) For example in Spain: Bable and Aragonese.

It's important to remember that "Mozarabic" is a 19th century term. The native speakers actually called it _latina_ or _latinus_ .

One thing: in Spain exists more languages: - Castilian - Catalan - Gallego* - Astur - Leones - Fabla aragonesa - Euskera (no romance, I know) *Gallego is the language brother of portuguese and still is spoken. Please, more information. Thank you.

I speak Spanish but when I hear Portuguese, I perfectly understand what they say and I understand maybe ninety percent of the words, even though they sound very strange to me.

Min. 2:26: The year is 1521, not 1532 - "Neacșu's letter, written in 1521, is one of the oldest surviving documents available in Romanian that can be reliably dated." (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neac%C8%99u%27s_letter)

You missed Galician.

SPQR= Senatus Populusque Romanus

What a beautiful legacy ! I'm proud to be part of this family !

You forgot Istro-romanian and Megleno-Romanian ;)

SPQR

Very good video, it’s amazing seeing how it all started with the glorious Indo-European peoples

I LOVE your history videos 🤗as I've been trying to find videos like these for a while. I was wondering, can you do a video like this for the Indo-Aryan languages? Because I think that's the only Indo-European ethnolinguistic group you haven't made a video like this for until now.. Anyways, love ♥ the video 👍!

I am still shock that England and Wales didn't have a Romance language. a unique Romance language unique to Britain.

2:26 Saying that in 1532 it was the first time the language was attested is misleading. People would think that in 1532 the Romanian language was invented, no! The first record of a medieval Romance toponymy in the Balkans dates to the early Byzantine period, with Procopius (500-554 AD) mentioning forts with names such as Skeptekasas (Seven Houses), Burgulatu (Broad City), Loupofantana (Wolf's Well) and Gemellomountes (Twin Mountains). A 586 AD Byzantine chronicle of an incursion against the Avars in the eastern Balkans may have one of the earliest references to Vlachs. In the account, when baggage carried by a mule slipped the muleteer shouted: "Torna, torna, fratre!" ("Return, return, brother!").Byzantine historians used the term Vlachs for Latin speakers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlachs#6th_century Also, one of the oldest surviving documents written in Romanian is Neacșu's letter from 1521, 11 years from the "first time Romanian was attested" like you wrote. "As opposed to the first documents of other languages, which are in general more ancient, the Romanian language used in this letter is very similar to the language spoken in the present day." Theexistence of a letter being casually written in Romanian means it's not the very first document ever written in Romanian, but that there were documents written hundreds of years prior but they got lost or destroyed. This letter was able to survive. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neac%C8%99u%27s_letter Also, as proof of the Romanian language being already established a long time ago, they had their own chronicles written in Romanian & Old Slavonic (the early ones): The diptych of Bistrita in 1407, Chronicle of Bistriţa written the latter half of the 15th century, The Chronicle of Macarie (1542) Chronicle of Putna I (compiled between 1552 and 1561) and Chronicle of Putna II (15th-16th century), The Chronicles of the land of Moldova by Grigore Ureche between 1642-1647, Anonymous Chronicle of Moldova (1661-1704), The Chronicle of Cantacuzino (latter half of the 17th century), History of the Romanian Country/Wallachia by Constantin Cantacuzino from early 1700s, Chronicle of the Romanian Country by Radu Popescu written between 1705-1729, Chronicle of the Antiquity of the Romano-Moldavo-Wallachians by Dimitrie Cantemir from 1719 to 1722. You must mean the Romanian language being attested by Western European chroniclers in 1532: "Francesco della Valle writes in 1532 that Romanians are calling themselves Romans in their own language, and he subsequently quotes the expression: "Știi Românește?" (Do you know Romanian?)." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_language#Early_history Vlad the Impaler was born in 1428, 100 years before "Romanian being first attested" and he spoke Romanian and wrote in Romanian. There are documents written by him that still survived to this day. His grandfather, Mircea I of Wallachia, born in 1355, also spoke and wrote in Romanian. The Romanian language was formed between the 4th, 5th and 6th century: "The Latin variant from which Romanian developed shows the traits of many changes of the Latin which occurred between the 4th and 6th centuries." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Romanian#Romanization_and_Vulgar_Latin "The Romanian Academy considers the 5th century as the latest time that the differences between Balkan Latin and western Latin could have appeared, and that between the 5th and 8th centuries, the new language, Romanian, switched from Latin speech, to a vernacular Romance idiom, called Română comună (common Romanian)." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Romanian_language

Entro a ver el vídeo de lenguas latinas y me encuentro a casi todo el mundo comentando en inglés... Faltan el gallego, asturleonés, aranés, valenciano y mallorquín.

Idiomas magníficos.

Viva os Romanos!

The video is nice but can I just complement your choice for the background music? It's really soothing and I love it

awesome video :), could you guys do one for the Indo-Aryan languages?

The romantic languages arent "Romantic" like some type of love story, the reason why its called romantic, is because they were originated from the romans, and the romans spoke latin. Thats why theyre called ROMANtic languages.

Saudações do Brasil! , Ave Cæsar!

Music from one of my favorite games Rise of Nations. Nice!

I love that you've used the music from "Rise of Nations". The best game EVER made, and even with increases in computer technology, never bettered, or even remotely replicated almost 20 years later.

I have assumed that the Italian language was old compared to other Romance languages for the following reasons: 1. Its alphabet has 26 letters, but only 21 are native to the language. 2. When the language had been fully developed, the tilde (~) probably still did not exist. I once heard that that symbol is supposed to represent a letter “n” on top of any letter to save room in spelling and therefore probably minimize nasalization. In Spanish, the tilde is said to be used over an “n” instead of writing another consonant for palatalization. In Portuguese, the symbol is used over an “a” or “o” because for Portuguese, nasal consonants (“m” and “n”) never come between vowels unless either nasal consonant is supposed to appear in a suffix for pronunciation clarification, keep a word from only looking like a suffix, or be left alone while in a borrowed word. In other words, whenever an Italian word is spelled with “nn” or “gn” in the middle, a Spanish word uses “ñ” instead in any cognate. Whenever an “n” follows an “a” or “o” in any other Romance language whenever applicable, Portuguese usually uses “ã” or “õ” instead. 3. There is no sound equivalent to that of the pronounced “h” in any English word or in any word in any other Romance language.

How did the Romance language first emerge ? Is it a branch of Latin ? Or it emerged at the same time with Latin ?

Nice video! But I feel a bit sad by the omission of Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) that spread to Eastern Mediterranean after the Reconquista. (I speak a bit of Ladino myself.)

For all here - read about La Spezia-Rimini Line about the Evolution from Latin. And after that you understand that you have to compare Romanian with southern italian dialectes (from Naples,Sicily etc) and with sardinian language.In Early Middle Ages it existed a " bridge" between Italy and the "island" of Romania/Dacia.The "bridge" în the Balkans formed by heavily romanized provinces of Ilyricum,Moesia,Thracia etc ( povinces who gave dozens of roman emperors) collapsed under avars and slavic invasions in 6th and 7th centuries.From this "bridge" survived little "islands" with offsprings of romans.

Actually, there is also Galician, the real origin of the Portuguese language. Galician is spoken in Galicia, a Spanish territory, by 2 million and a half people. Also, another aspect is that here in Spain we officially difference the Valencian and the Catalan-Balearic languages, although they are extremely similar. As a final point, in the Iberian Peninsula, there are other semioficial languages like (in Spanish) asturleonés, aragonés...

Per nostrae linguae latinae.

You forgot the Galicians, Ladins, Istro-Romanians, and Meglano-Romanians

In Italy we speak dialect (venetian for me) but everywhere standard italian is widely spoken.

The music reminded me of Rise of Nations. So much memories! XD

Las lenguas romances sin duda las mas influyentes del mundo!!

Are only six Latin-root / Romance languages recognized ...would you please share with us the others?

Amazing music

In the Romance languages family the Big Brother is Spanish with about 470 million speakers, it will have 500 native million speakers by 2024. Second only to Mandarin / Chinese. Greetings from Germany - Saludos desde Alemania...🍺

Where is Galician?

start in small part and became huge languages when split into romance. there are more language, and most are continum at least crossing portugal to occitania.

Salve! Learning Latin right now.

Italic speaking peoples arrived down to Sicily, the Siculi and the Elimi as well.

2:39 the modern form of French is not from Paris but from Tours, which was one of the main cities under François Ist of Valois.

Friulian, ladin and romansh are the alpine languages which are the least undermined by the "country languages" (expecially standard italian and standard german). In other words, you can find conservative elements. Friulian is the only latin derived that still has vowel length (lat=milk, lât with long a=gone, pas=pass, pâs with long a=peace).

There are alot languages left, but is very hard tell all, because all have influences from other languages families, but got expansion in america( fench, spanish and portuguese). In spanish/portuguese frontiers speak portuñol o another mixed languages, also judeoespañol(jew-spanish) also spanish in philipines

Hey is not only portuguese. It was galician-portuguese which then separated in their respective languages

I saw the video about austronesian language but it's not really detailed like this. Hope you make it.

Standard Italian has a mix of features from Toscana and Lazio and is not purely Florence-based.

There are a lot of other romance languages, but maybe Galician is worth noting since it has more speakers than many other minorities shown in the video.

there are a galician (father of portuguese language) and mirandes language they are still spoken in iberia peninsula.

Latin were spoked by some people in north africa from roman empire to 16th cenrury

You have one for mesoamerican languages?

What is the name of the music you used in this video?

There are also other minor langueges, like galician, aragonese, leonese and franco provencial. Correct me if i'm wrong.

You missed some ibero-romance languages (galician, astur-leonese, aragonese), in spite of that nice video :)

Make a video about the Hellenic branch of the Indo-European

Nice

You're missing one huge group, English, English by itself is both a Latin and Germanic language, most of the words and rules come from both family groups, with Latin having a greater influence due to French(Norman) England.

what about the spread of romance languages to latin america? today most speakers of romance languages live there (Brazil alone has 200 million speakers of Portuguese, and 120 million mexicans speak spanish.

Cómo no pusieron de fondo AMENO DORIME era ideal para este tipo de video algo en latín...

What's the music used in the video?

Spanish & Portuguese do not come from "Mozarabic" or its real name that I prefer "Latinus". Spanish & Portuguese evolved from Vulgar Latin separately than Mozarabic. Mozarabic was only spoken by Christians in areas governed by muslims in southern & sometimes central Iberia......when the Kingdom of Asturias which later became known as the kingdom of Leon pushed south, Leones & Castilian became the official languages

Merveille qu'est notre langue.

To cover the topic with fewer blanks, this video should be done in 2 or 3 parts...

Good video, but they’ve show only Europe and forgotten about the spread of Romance languages in the Americas, Africa and Asia.

Just so there is no confusion, Standard Italian is also officially spoken in Sicily, Sardinia, Naples, Lombardy, and Venice. The dialects spoken there (and there are dialects everywhere in Italy, not just in those parts mentioned above) are for informal use only. Standard Italian is used for official purposes.

ROMANIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LOVE TO MY LATIN BROTHERS

although you forgot Galician, asturian & mirandese this video is awesome

2:29. Yes ! Aromanian, my language. We survived as transhumant pastoralists till the 1960s.

Forgot about Arpitan spoken in parts of France, Switzerland, and Italy

1:20 From this map, I understand that greek language was spoken in Egean Sea !

In Sardinia we have a variant in the towns of Bitti, Orune and Lula, that is considered the closer variant of Sardinian to Latin, so in turn the closest language to Latin still spoken to this day!

Why Romance languages (Italian,Sardinian,Latin) sound closer to Persian than Greek? 🇮🇷 🇮🇹 / 🇬🇷 Mother: Madar madre/ μητέρα (Mitera) Father: Pedar padre / πατέρας (Patera) Boy/Son: Pur, Puer ( Latin) /αγόρι (Agori) Water: Ab, Abba (Sardinian)/ νερό (neró) What : Che Che /τι (Ti) Also Che Chizi , Che Cosa Who : Ki Chi /που (Pou) Inside: Andar, Entro/ μέσα(mésa) How much: Chand, Quanto / πόσο (Póso) Small: Khord, Corto / μικρό (Mikró) Thing : Chiz, Cosa /πράγμα (prágma) Young: Javan Giovane /νέος (Neos) Dead: Morde.

French has more than 75 million native speakers. It is the 5th most spoken language in the world.

Da știu

OMG, I need music from video. I feel myself catholic for this

3:17 - Romansh (Retoroman) en Svisi' ..

Viva mi antepasado idioma latín y viva mi idioma actual castellano

3:30 Family photo of the current romance family.

e soprattutto quando si parla di argomenti elvati di legge scienza cultura si usano 90 per cento di parole latine ,tambien en ingles. Molte naturalmente derivate dal Greco.L idioma es una cultura una manera de pensar y vivir. Se vado in sudamerica mi sento a casa, se vado 200 km a nord dell italia sono in un mondo straniero.

You also missed a ton more, but I’m not going to list them all

There is also Megleno Romanian and Istro Romanian

A los españoles que me lean: a ver sí, se ha dejado el gallego, el asturleonés y el aragonés, pero es que desde Portugal hasta Italia los latinos formamos un continuo dialectal, esto es, en regiones pequeñas hablamos lenguas o variedades con poca diferencia entre ellas y nos podemos entender entre vecinos, pero no entre los extremos. Por ejemplos Los gallegos entienden el portugués pero los castellanos no. Los españoles advertís la falta de idiomas peninsulares en el mapa, pero también faltan en Francia, donde el francés no es el único idioma d'oil también están el arpitán y el valón, y faltan, todo el norte de Italia le ha puesto "venetian" pero se hablan más de 5 idiomas distintos en la zona, en Italia el standard del italiano es el de la Toscana, pero en Roma, Nápoles y otros lugares se habla distinto y y podéis encontrar textos en Internet para ver las diferencias, que a ojos de un estudiante de italiano, no son pequeñas, pero en asuntos formales usan el italiano toscano. Faltaría también el istrorrumano, y otras lenguas pero es que sencillamente no caben y me gusta cómo queda el mapa, a grandes rasgos se hace uno una idea.

Tretiacov are among the huge number of specialists which consider Romania the place of other Europeans origins and Romanian the oldest language in Europe, older even than Sanskrit. According to the researchers and scientists, the Latin comes from the old Romanian (or Thracian) and not vice versa.

3:05 It should be noted that Sardinians, Sicilians, Neapolitans, Venetians, and Lombards speak Standard Italian officially. Their dialects are used informally.

But the Romance languages also spread to America and Africa, Mexico which is a North American country has the most Native Spanish speakers world wide and by the way Spanish is the most spoken Romance language

Rise of Nations music well played lol

It's not just Spanish what I speak, it's modern iberian LATIN

das some noice glowy maps. italic languages supplanted by latin descendants. perhaps other descendants of romance languages could have been shown like those speakers of their expansive former colonies and the romance influences into the surrounding languages and those that theyve colonized. the romance language family has big legacy over the world. noice video anyway
