Why is the European language the romance language?

Answer 1

European isn't a language.

Romance Languages are languages descended from Latin. The Romance Languages are:

Aragonese

Asturian

Catalan

Corsican

Emilian

Franco-Provençal

French

Galician

Italian

Judaeo-Spanish (Ladino)

Leonese

Milanese

Mirandese

Neapolitan

Occitan

Picard

Piedmontese

Portuguese

Romanian

Romansh

Sardinian

Sicilian

Spanish

Venetian

Walloon

There are really two reasons as to why they are called "Romantic". One, is that yes they are languages always associated with "love". You'll see a lot of love movies in French, Spanish and Italian in what people call the "sexy languages". You'll see a lot of people trying to become fluent in French, Spanish or Italian to impress the girls.

The OTHER reason is that, in reality these languages are all Latin dialects. But, now have evolved into their own languages. Latin was the language that the Romans were speaking, and hence the term "ROMANtic" or "ROMANce", not to mention, the countries that are today Spain, Portugal, Italy and France were all part of the Roman Empire.

You can also see now as to how Spanish conquistadors got the "skill" to create such a large empire because Spanish people themselves are basically Romans. Portuguese is known as the "sweet language". Spanish speakers envy Portuguese speakers a lot.

Answer 2

European languages are classified as Romance languages because they have evolved from Latin, which was spoken by the Romans. These languages developed in the Roman Empire and spread across Europe, influencing the local languages and giving rise to what we now know as Romance languages.
