VRL: Difference between revisions

'''''VRL''''' (''Volgar Romano Lustro'', “Illustrious Roman Vernacular”) is a controlled literary language composed of various elements drawn from the vernacular historically spoken in Rome. It is not intended to be naturalistic; rather, it is deliberately artificial in its design. It does not attempt to answer the question ''“what if the vernacular of Rome had been adopted as the official language of Italy instead of a Florentine-based standard?”'', as it significantly incorporates elements brought from Tuscan on Roman speech. The language itself heavily draws from major authors such as ''[[w:it:Bartolomeo di Iacovo da Valmontone|Anonimo Romano]]'', ''[[w:it:Giuseppe Berneri|Giuseppe Berneri]]'', ''[[w:it:Bendetto Micheli|Benedetto Micheli]]'', ''[[w:it:Giuseppe Gioachino Belli|Giuseppe Gioachino Belli]]'', ''[[w:it:Giggi Zanazzo|Giggi Zanazzo]]'', ''[[w:it:Cesare Pascarella|Cesare Pascarella]]'' and ''[[w:it:Trilussa|Trilussa]]''.
