Editing Romance languages (section)

== Vocabulary comparison ==
The tables below{{Citation needed|date=March 2024}} provide a vocabulary comparison that illustrates a number of examples of sound shifts that have occurred between Latin and Romance languages. Words are given in their conventional spellings. In addition, for French the actual pronunciation is given, due to the dramatic differences between spelling and pronunciation. (French spelling approximately reflects the pronunciation of [[Old French]], c. 1200 AD.)
