'''Romanese''' (Rumanés) /huma'nez/ (alt. Narrumanu) is a second wave Romance language spoken after the [[Verse:Roman Cultural Revival (Early Interstellar Era)|Roman Cultural Revival]] of the [[Verse:Interstellar Era|Early Interstellar Era]]. Spoken largely by descendants of the Iberian and Italian diaspora, it features mostly parallel developments to [[Verse:Terran Era|Terran Era]] 21st Century Romance languages, but has also been influenced by their descendants. It is also the possible ancestor of [[Fa-Nei]].

Romanese is part of the so-called "Timeless Romance" Sprachbund, and thus is notable for its resemblance to 21st Century Romance languages. It stands with others in its Sprachbund in opposition to the Interstellar Era Neolatinate and Italoëcclesiastic languages, which have not mimicked the evolution of the Romance languages and have instead descended from revived Classical and Italic Church Latin respectively in a more isolated manner. The Neo-Romance Sprachbund also does not include the more innovative and radical descendants of the original Romance languages.

===Plosives===
* /b d g/ become /B ð G/, and begin debuccalising further. In turn, /p t k/ voice and then become fricatives eventually too.
* Geminate plosives become degeminated.
* /b/ and /v/ merge where possible. Thus {{sc|vínvm, vacca}} > ''binu, baca''
* /kt/ (and /lt/?) becomes /jt/ and then /tS/ (and then contextually /S/?).
* /bl gl/ merge with /l/. Thus {{sc|blasphemáre, globellvs}} > ''lâtemár, luvellu'' (or ''lovillu'').
* /pl kl/ become /lj/. Thus {{sc|plánvs, clámáre}} > ''llanu, llamár''.
* /k/ word initially often becomes /g/. Thus {{sc|cattvs}} > ''gatu''.
===Fricatives===
* /s/ in coda position is often debuccalised. Thus {{smallcaps|testa}} > ''têta'' /'te(h)t(:)a/
* /sj/ generally becomes /Z/ (j) or /S/ (x). Thus {{sc|cáseus}} < ''queiju'' /'ke(i)Zu/
* /ð/ is elided. Thus {{sc|mercátvs}} > /mer'kaðo/ > ''marcáu''
* /Bw/ and /Gw/ have a tendency to merge into /w/. Thus {{sc|bónvs}} > ''güenu'' /'wenu/ (influenced by Sp. bueno, It. buono)
* /B/ and /G/ with unstressed vowels between them may join up and become /w/ too. Thus {{sc|sanctificáre}} > ''senchiguár'' /san(t)Si'wa(h)/, ''santiguár''.
===Liquids===
* /CrV/ before the tonic syllable is often metathesised to /CVr/
* /r/ is gutturalised or outright debuccalised after vowels or at the start of words, and then lost before consonants.
* Any remaining /rV/s and /lV/s in the ultimate syllable and after a closed syllable are generally lost with just the vowel remaining.
===Vowels===
* Final /o, a, e/ become /u, a, i/ in the formal language and /ë, ë, i/ in some dialects and colloquial registers.
* Some vowel harmony is involved, e.g. {{sc|mercátvs}} > ''marcáu''
===Miscellaneous===
* /doL/ sometimes becomes /goL/. Cf. delphinus > gorfino.
