Romance languages, mainly Spanish, with Italian in a lesser degree.
Design principles
Romanid is highly naturalistic. Its vocabulary is based almost solely on the Romance languages. The accent and the gender of the words are complicated and sometimes irregular. Adjectives have no agreement. Nouns lack declension; however, most of the pronouns have accusative; some of them have special forms such as direct object. Finite verbs have no personal inflexions but have a regular plural form. There are four moods: indicative, imperative, conditional and hortative (a limited subjunctive); there are four tenses in indicative: present, past, future, future perfect.
Interest of others
Actually it is a dead language, but may be interesting for those who study the history of interlinguistics.
