These words derive from the adverb *ro:ma:nice: 'in the
"Romanic" language'. Earlier still (from about the 7th
century, I think), we find terms like "lingua romana
(rustica)" with reference to vernaculars derived from the Late
Latin "sermo plebeius". "Lingua romana" is what early French
is called in the Strassburg Oaths (AD 842).

[Moeller] thank you Piotr.
