Duqaska

Romanto is a language based on Spanish, Italian and French, it was created for fun and as a means of communication amongst friends, it is simple with no case systems and little grammar, most grammar is similair to that of French. It was started in 2008 around March time. The plans for this language are to improve amounts of vocabulary and get people interested in it, with more people learning Romanto, it will help benefit and enrich the language.

Vocabulary

Vocabulary is about 1/3 French, 1/3 Italian and 1/3 Spanish more of an italian look to the language because of verbs ending in -are and pronunciation is similiar to that of french and Italian. There is currently a vocabulary range of 753 words, with approximately 1/5 of these verbs, however the list is growing week by week. I hope to have at least 1,000 words by December 2008.
