English[en]
The term Romance comes from the Vulgar Latin adverb romanice, "in Roman", derived from Romanicus: for instance, in the expression romanice loqui, "to speak in Roman" (that is, the Latin vernacular), contrasted with latine loqui, "to speak in Latin" (Medieval Latin, the conservative version of the language used in writing and formal contexts or as a lingua franca), and with barbarice loqui, "to speak in Barbarian" (the non-Latin languages of the peoples living outside the Roman Empire).
Spanish[es]
Pues, romanice loqui, "para hablar en romano" (eso es, el dialecto vernáculo latin) es en contraste con latine loqui, "para hablar en latín" (latín medieval, la version conservadora de la lengua usado en escrituras y contextos formales o como una lengua franca), y con barbarice loqui, "para hablar en bárbaro" (las lenguas no latinas de los pueblos de los lugares externos del Imperio Romano).
