Proto Romance

+**Proto-Romance**

+Proto-Romance is the reconstructed common ancestor of the [Romance languages](/wiki/romance_languages), representing the crucial transitional stage between [Vulgar Latin](/wiki/vulgar_latin) and their individual divergence. It describes the shared linguistic state as the Western Roman Empire fragmented, before distinct daughter languages emerged across different regions.
