An overview of the Romance languages, with some fascinating comments underneath. So few people understand Romanian, despite its being a Romance language. I certainly cannot understand a word. Yet Romanians, both in the comments’ section and those I have met personally, find many other Romance languages, such as Italian, easy to learn!
Many Portuguese say that they find Spanish easy to understand, but many Romance language speakers find French difficult to understand. This surprised me greatly, but when we consider the fact that French is furthest removed from the Latin root compared to Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, one can see why. I think the pronunciation is the main obstacle, as well as spelling issues.
Even despite this, the popularity of Romance languages worldwide surely should give credit to the root tongue: Latin. A language that ought to be taught here in Britain, but sadly is the preserve of a few, under the foolish belief that it has no use. Yet the influence of Latin continues to this very day, present in so many words used without a second thought.
Great video!
