Abstract
For a History of the Names of Romance Languages in Italian. The study presents the names that the main Romance languages have had in the history of Italian, in order to examine how and when the different idioms derived from Latin were perceived, identified, and named. Particular attention will be given to the glottonyms referring to the peoples who inhabited the various regions before the Latinization. At the end of the essay, the various terms used over time to refer to Italian will be proposed, terms which, before this glottonym became dominant, did not distinguish it either from Florentine or Tuscan, nor from Latin, the mother tongue from which it is derived, and against which the Vulgar Latin originally stood. REZUMAT. Pentru o istorie a numelor limbilor romanice în italiană. Studiul prezintă numele pe care principalele limbi romanice le-au avut în istoria limbii italiene, pentru a verifica cum și când diferitele limbi derivate din latina au fost percepute, identificate și numite. Se va pune accent în mod special pe glotonimele care se referă la popoarele care locuiau diversele regiuni înainte de latinizare. La sfârșitul eseului vor fi propuse diferitele termene care au fost folosite de-a lungul timpului pentru a desemna limba italiană, care, înainte ca acest glotonim să se impună, nu a fost diferențiată nici de florentină sau toscană, nici de latină, limba maternă din care provine, împotriva căreia vulgarul se opunea inițial. Cuvinte-cheie: glotonime, limbi romanice, italiană, lexicografie Article history: Received 14 March 2025; Revised 1 May 2025; Accepted 31 May 2025; Available online 12 December 2025; Available print 30 December 2025
