Talk:List of vocabulary replacements in Vulgar Latin

What an interesting idea for a page. I do have some questions/gripes, however. I think the explanation of what this page is intended to illustrate definitely needs to be longer and and more precise. Also, some of the words taht are "replacements" are really just a changed form of the Latin etymon. There are many examples, but canere > cantar stood out to me initially. Cantat is just from the participle (cantus) and cantare existed in Latin (probably in Late Latin, however, but I can't be certain offhand). Also, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian should be represented as well. I really like the Germanic loanwords section. List of Spanish words of Germanic origin could be very helpful in expanding this section. I think this page needs to have a more precise and thorough introduction, it nees to have better wikilinking, and it needs to be renamed. I'm not sure what it should be named, but the current title is long and clumsy. A table format may also be a good idea. I will work on some of these things today. This could become a really good page. I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes here.--Hraefen 19:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
