Vulgar Latin (English spelling)

...It can be said that this tradition lives on today as European culture.
[From Vulgar Latin to Romance Languages]
Below this written Latin was the spoken Latin of the unlettered masses (also called Vulgar Latin), which underwent early changes. This fact can be seen in many inscriptions.

From Romance Languages

...Furthermore, it is noteworthy that a number of Creole languages ​​based on Portuguese and French are widely distributed throughout the world.
[history]
As already mentioned, the Romance languages ​​originated from Latin, but the Latin from which they began was not the highly refined written language represented by Classical Latin, but the so-called "Vulgar Latin" used as the everyday spoken language of Romans and Romanized people. The gap between Written Latin and Vulgar Latin, which was not so significant before the Classical period (1st century BC to 2nd century AD), gradually grew larger as time went on, but it is believed that Vulgar Latin underwent roughly the same changes throughout Romania until the fall of the Western Roman Empire (476).

[歴史]
 さて,ロマンス語の源がラテン語にあることはすでに記したが,そのロマンス語の出発点にあたるラテン語は,古典ラテン語に代表される高度に洗練された書き言葉ではなく,ローマ人またローマ化された人々が日常の話し言葉として用いる,いわゆる〈俗ラテン語Vulgar Latin〉であった。古典期(前1世紀~後2世紀)以前にはさほど著しくなかった文語ラテン語と俗ラテン語との隔りは,時代が下るにつれてしだいに大きなものになっていくが,俗ラテン語は西ローマ帝国の滅亡(476)に至るまでの間は,ロマニア各地でほぼ同様の変化を遂げていったと思われる。…
