Common source: Latin Latin: form of Italic spoken in Latium,
settled by Proto-Latin speakers 1000 bce ca. Italic branch of IE: end of second millenium
bce. and included Oscan (at least until 79 AD) and Umbrian (among others) see map >
Latin refers originally to a group of related dialects

By 6th c. Latin refers to the speech of Rome Later it denotes so many concepts as to lose
meaning Borders on cognates to the S, Etruscan to
the N, Celtic in Po plain (by 4th C. bce) - striking similarities with italic languages
Greek in the S

Romance Development - semana 2 -> Expansion
Roman military, political and economic influence grew during the expansion of Roman Empire
Within Italy first and then beyond Latin also flourishes and expands (see map)
even to areas that now are not Romance speaking (Southern England f.ex.)
Retreat came about in 5th C AD (advantage of Slavic, Germanic, Arabic from 7th C.)

Germanic made less headway than expected: Visigoths spoke Latin when they invaded Spain
Rumanian survival: early settlement and church Clovis establishes a Catholic Frankish kingdom in
northern Gaul by end of 5th C Latin: administration, religion Rapid development of Romance with Frankish overlay

Even when Roman power was at its height, Latin was NOT homogeneous throughout the Empire: Social, regional variations substrata
Between the collapse of the Empire and the emergence of Romance, envisage a situation of isolation, divergent development w/o standard
Why divergence?

1) Tendency towards linguistic fragmentation inherent in language acquisition, counterbalanced by need to communicate. Loss of uniform education system Separation of Romance groups (especially after the
coming of Moslems 8th C.) 2) Even during the empire: substratal differences
Ex.: many more words of Celtic origin in Fr/Nth Italian than in Spanish, st. Italian or Rumanian.
Welsh rhysg = rusco, rusca (bark, cork etc.) Nth It/Cat

Several languages spoken within Iberia before arrival of Romans (3rd c. bce.) Celtic, Basque, Iberian Very often the origin of a long-standing word
in Ibero-romance and is not Latin or Celtic - cf. Sp. and Port. cama, must be considered simply as Pre-romance.
Greek in S Italy from 8th c. AD

3) The third reason for divergence after break-up of the Empire is language contact (language of the conquerors) Arabic influence on Spanish Slavic and non-Romance on Rumanian have given it
decidedly non-Romance lexicon even in everyday language
Germanic elements found more in areas close to those where Germanic languages were spoken (Walloon)
