Not this one. This is the etymological dictionary of Latin language. It
seems more safe to assume the "lingua romana" is not given because is
not relevant to etymology or maybe because it is a late expresion hence
the expresions as lingua prisca, lingua latina, lingua peregrina are
used very usual in clasical latin.
