Re: [romconlang] Purism in romlangs



My history exists upto ~1300.  I have my first layer of  "North African"
Vulgar Latin which includes known peculiarities of NAVL and those I made
up.  In this stage the borrowings were mostly Punic with a few Germanic
loans from the Vangals and some Greek from Chiristianity and trade.  Then
there is a huge influx of Arabic influence after the Islamic invasions (and
a very few Coptic loans from refugees) which ends in the 1100s.  Now the
main influence is Norman French, Provencal and Sicilian (with a few
Venitian terms from banking).  As soon as the Rennaisance gets started
there will be Latin loans and more Greek and words from the Age of
Exploration (if I can figure out how to get that started!)
