That's what we call them in Bosnia (and presumably Croatia, Serbia and Montengro too). I've been wondering for years why that was, and this video finally explained it. We also call a comic book a "roman".
You left out my favourite Romance language! It's Romansh, spoken mainly in the Canton of the Grisons in Switzerland, the country's fourth official language, along with French, Italian, and German.
Maybe it's called Rome because they named it after some tribal leader of the tribe that founded Rome. Making the myth slightly true. Because a good chunk of myths were from events that became heavily exaggerated
@@meetaverma8372 It's impossible to spell it out phonetically. Audio is the only way. Google Translate pronounced it correctly. Polish is truly a hard language.

9:43 Not strictly true, the vast majority, if not the entirety, of latin influence in english comes from the norman french who conquered the land, alongside later influence from other romance languages and the use of latin as an ecclesiastical and scientific language. I would guess this is probably due to the fact that when rome conquered what we would now call england, it was populated by britonnic peoples (such as the modern welsh). The germanic anglo-saxons would largely come after rome fell, as rome was quite successful at repelling them up until that point.
In Portuguese, romance is a polysemic word. It’s used to describe love affairs; novels (book) in general; narrative pieces written in a romance language, in prose or in verse; and a bunch of other things related to literature and even music.
In bases of word ramanse lays romanicus ‘in roman style’, and phrase romanice scribere ‘writing in roman’ (galloroman, commonfolks language). Basing on them in old french emerched word ronmanz (later: romance) meaning language of common folk (referring to people from northern france), which evolved into ‘story’ and alter in 'novel' and ‘love adventure’. I found it in some ethymology site.
I find it interesting how the idea of chivalry and knights saving women (damsels in distress) still caries on to this day in modern stories like Superman saving Lois Lane.
Well, many of the adventures and romances were written to improve the chivalry of the noble class and present them with the ideal what a "knight in shining armor" had to be. A good chunk of Arturian stories were written in that spirit.
@@meetaverma8372 No, in ancient times everybody married for livestock animals. Plus the woman was just a piece of property passed from her father to her new husband.
Not to mention those "Romanz books" live on in that the word for Novel in many languages is still "Roman" or how the literary term for a coming of age story is a "bildungsroman". Roman basically came to mean novel as in book and that's where romantic comes from, saying a relationship is like something out of a book basically.
I wouldn't use Beethoven as a symbol of romantic composers, given that he marks the very transition from classicism to romanticism in music. Tchaikovsky would be a more appropriate and almost as popular alternative imo
From what I remember in music history class, Beethoven started as a baroque composer and later in his life his style changed to being more close to a romantic composer, making him one of the earliest romantic composers
Not baroque, but classical. That period ended 20 years prior to his birth with the death of JS Bach. It can be said that Beethoven was the first romantic composer, but citing him as an example of the famous/peak romantic style isn't very appropriate
The only part about the story of Romulus and Remus that is fantastical is the "being breast fed by a she wolf" part, which is a pretty obvious embellishment told to make their leaders seem stronger. The rest of the story is completely grounded and normal sounding. Two brothers decided to build a city (normal in those days), and fought over it.
I think of all the things I learned in this video, my biggest takeaway is that Patrick is a romantic legless ghost as proven around 10:16. I guess we never have gotten a full body shot of the man. 🤷🏽 🤣👍🏼
But that’s over 1300+ years between the fall of Rome to the love novels. That’s a really long pay-off. The Romans really know how to build indestructible buildings and play the long game.
Historically speaking, the Romans invented love, the gauls did not know what love was, until after they got integrated And the Persians focused so much on attacking the beautiful glorious empire of rome, that they did not know what love was until 1999, and the Germans haven't even discovered happiness yet,
Essentially, it was a key province in the Roman Empire, but was a strategic nightmare, being surrounded on three fronts by barbarian lands. Thus, it was heavily occupied by the Roman military, much like the Rhineland and Valentia (Northern England and part of Wales). Roman forts became the foundation for towns and cities in the region, Roman citizens established long term populations, native Dacians were Romanized, and Dacia was remote enough that the fall of the West was a distant cataclysm while Roman authority remained strong in the much closer Byzantine Empire. Then, as the Ottomans butchered and oppressed their way into Europe, the occupants, then called Wallachians grew increasingly desirous of the better times. So, when they gained independence from the Ottomans, they proclaimed their renewed country Romania, the land of the Romans, and are one of the only countries that actually teaches Latin (though a local dialect) as a second language.
It's kinda misleading to say the Gauls spoke Romanus. The Gauls had their own language: Gaulish. It was a Celtic language that only became extinct in the 6th century AD, just barely overlapping with the advent of Old French.
Yes, but the gaulish language was already fading by that time, and the gauls themselves were assimilated to roman culture and refer to themselves as romans. For example, the "Gallic Empire" (a rebel state which existed during the third century crisis) was never called "gallic" by its contemporaries, as it was just a powerbase for a series of Roman military leaders and aristocrats declared themselves emperors.
So in the future after the "great reset" and a new dark age "Engliz" may pertain to "romantic love" because of the many love stories written in the languages descended from the great extinct lingua franca that was the English language.
Haven’t watched the video yet but I’m pretty sure it’s called Romania because it’s located where the Byzantines went after the empire fell Edit: I read the title wrong and thought it said Romania
For the record Romania was called "Romania" by a few Italian travellers going to Transylvania, Wallachia and Moldovia who called the three kingdoms "Romania" since Rome owned a tiny portion of the area which was formerly known as Dacia, since the native Dacians lived there.
Romantic means a lot more than sexual love. A sort-of anti-intellectual cultural and artistic movement, for instance. And Pepe le Pew is an awful sexual assaulter.
Before wathcing video: I think romance was named after the the Romance languages, which people think sounds "lovely". The Romance languages are undoubtably named after their geographical origin, Rome.
And also, I don't think there're any real French speaking countries in Asia. Probably bcs how much they hate France & how France basically gave up on geopolitical positions in A/P area most former French colonies no longer speak French in any significant extent. (Not official language, not business language, not language of teaching for the majority of the education system, probably not even the most popular foreign language).

An interesting coincidence is that the Latin word for love, “amor,” is the Latin word for the city, “Roma,” spelled backwards.
Huh. Interesting.
Co-incidence? Colleen Mccullough thought Amor was the 'secret name's of Roma.

In Dutch, a novel (book) is still called a 'roman'...
German too. It doesn't have to be "romantic" in the English sense, just a long-form book, and now I see how they're related.

Hi Patrick! Fun fact : In French, the word for "novel" is "roman" :) now I know why !
In Croatian too. Novel - roman :)

I didnt know gouls were actually real and even had their own goulish country thats now modern day France! The more you know I guess.
I suppose it's possible many GAULS became GHOULS. But I wouldn't bet money on it.
The husband and I are using this preferred term now. If it was a country full of ghouls maybe they got what was coming to them...
I used to wonder what the connection between romance and the Romance languages was.
Your description of Romantic period composers is misleading. It was focused on emotional expression.

I thought romanticism also simply meant stores about adventures rather than simply stores about courtship?
Just like german, french and dutch the word "roman" means "novel".

Native Gauls spoke a Celtic tongue, not a Latin tongue.
Up to a point. Once conquered they slowly started adapting the new language and by the time the Roman empire fell the latinisation of Gaul was vast

Wait, the Gaul's are Celtic so... eh or are you talking about after the roman invasion?
we need more romances written for the male millennial.
You're right, more people should learn about the greatest civilization in human history.
It's kinda misleading to say the Gauls spoke Romanus. The Gauls had their own language: Gaulish. It was a Celtic language that only became extinct in the 6th century AD, just barely overlapping with the advent of Old French.
Yeah, what he actually SHOULD HAVE said is "the Roman Gauls spoke a language called Romanus"
Yes, but the gaulish language was already fading by that time, and the gauls themselves were assimilated to roman culture and refer to themselves as romans. For example, the "Gallic Empire" (a rebel state which existed during the third century crisis) was never called "gallic" by its contemporaries, as it was just a powerbase for a series of Roman military leaders and aristocrats declared themselves emperors.
It's pronounced Gaul like "gall," not "ghoul!" 😜
So in the future after the "great reset" and a new dark age "Engliz" may pertain to "romantic love" because of the many love stories written in the languages descended from the great extinct lingua franca that was the English language.
Or "amence" or "amentic" after the fallen American Empire.
Now do why a salad name after caesar
Video Idea: Why Did Persia change it's name to Iran?
Already been done pretty well by another channel: ruclips.net/video/zoyctsgMwq0/видео.html
It was never called Persia by its own people. Persia was a Greek exonym for the country, much like Parthia was.
