If, like me, you thought that “France,” “Franco,” or “French” were words derived from Latin, you’re mistaken - just like me 👀
The region was originally inhabited by the Gauls, and when Rome fell, it was taken over by Germanic kingdoms called the "Franks" 😯 and their language influenced the local Latin, which is why French developed differently compared to other Romance languages
Wow, I’m still amazed by this fact 🫨
