I can just read his reconstructed british romance. The thing is that Latin was used to the total exclusion of the romance languages between Julius Caesar's time and Charlemagne's time and later. There is some evidence that the Latin written might have been the written mode of Proto-Italian, Proto-Spanish, Proto-provencal, Proto-french and other proto languages...at least up to the early 9th century prior to Alcuin's/Charlemagnes Latin reform. Still, It would be interesting to see what Italian, Spanish, Provencal, Friulian and other romance proto-languages would have sounded like between 300-800 A.D. If anyone can help me with this endeavor, I would be grateful. > > Padraic. > > > AGFAC > FGAAF > GAFFC > FGACF > > --Glastein Quarters > > -- > > Ill Bethisad -- > <http://www.geocities.com/elemtilas/ill_bethisad> > > > Come visit The World! -- > <http://www.geocities.com/hawessos/> > > > > > > > > .
