| | Romanic Developments from Latin |
 | | Curiously, German is a serious requirement for Romanic Studies, because of the large amount of detailed, scholarly investigations which German scholars over the last two centuries have done in this area. | | | And what about Romansh, or even Ladin lying hidden in the valleys of the Swiss Alps as the Latinate dialect of Yiddish speaking Jews? | | | Vulgar Latin had split into early forms of the various Romanic tongues, as is evidenced by the Strassburg Oaths, swearing allegiance to Charlemagne, in what is recognizable as clearly distinct proto-languages. |

| | Cultural Notes: Colloquial and Vulgar Latin |
| | The Latin that people learned in school in the Middle Ages and Renaissance was actually Vulgar Latin which had become the fancy, high-status language. | | | This was the language spoken by uneducated classes in Italy and the provinces. | | | Vulgar Latin is not called that because it is full of dirty words (pity), but because it was used by the vulgus, or people. |

| | Verbix -- Romance languages: Vulgar Latin |
| | Vulgar Latin was primarily the speech of the middle classes in Rome and the Roman provinces; it is derived from Classical Latin but varied across Roman-occupied areas according to the extent of education of the population, communication with Rome, and the original languages of the local populations. | | | Vulgar Latin is the spoken form of non-Classical Latin from which originated the Romance group of languages. | | | As the Roman Empire disintegrated and the Christian Church became the chief unifying force in southern and western Europe, communication and education declined and regional variation in pronunciation and grammar increased until gradually, after about 600, local forms of Vulgar Latin were no longer mutually intelligible and were thereafter to be considered separate Romance languages. |

| | In this way, Vulgar Latin became a common or unifying language for many regions or groups of people. | | | As the Roman Empire crumbled, and as different regions were isolated from the influence of Rome, Vulgar Latin began to evolve in those provinces where it was the primary language. | | | What's interesting about all of this isn't that Latin disappeared and that these other languages developed, but rather that these languages were actually able to stabilize, consolidate with other regional languages, and become distinct language forms of their own. |
