 :::► Dictionary of Meaning www.mauspfeil.net ◄:::
**In most Romance languages, proper adjectives (including nationalities, such as ''United States American'' and ''United Kingdom British''), names of days of the week and months of the year are not capitalized.
The modern Romance languages differ from Classical Latin in a number of fundamental respects: *No declensions, that is, they generally no longer alter a noun to indicate its grammatical role, though there may be a few exceptions such as in pronouns.
Romance languages dropping the final vowel have one less syllable: the usual "penultimate syllable" accent is on the last syllable in these languages.
