Italian: -mento
Sardinian: -mentu (monumentu, like in pamentu)
French: -ment
Occitan: -men(t)
Catalan: -ment
Spanish: -miento
Portuguese: -mento
Rheto-romance: -maint
I won't give further dialectal forms. :-)

[Moeller] thank you Marius, but the question was for inherited
words, not just for suffixes. For this reason I asked,
otherway I should say you have in rom. two suffisex from latin
"-mentum". Once "-mânt" and once "-ment", where ment= the new
one, probably under the french influence..
BTW I will ask you something on r-lang for not bothering
here...
