Animals - Romance languages compared to Latin

In Spanish we also say "puerco" to talk about a pig

In italiano pig si dice maiale, porco è la versione dispregiativa

En español también tenemos la palabra CAN para un perro, pero casi no se usa esa palabra

Owl-
Seems everyone has a different way, though French, Italian, Spanish and a little bit of Romanian take a little bit from the Latin root.
BUT for Spanish: Lettuce is Lechuga, but change that g to z to get the animal! How did that get there?? A non-native speaker can get confused if they don't read or listen carefully...

In asturian language:
Fox - Raposu
Wolf - Llobu
Bear - Osu/Esbardu
Rabbit - Coneyu
Dog - Perru/Can
Cat - Gatu
Lion- Lleon
Squirrel - Esguil
Ostrich - Avestruz
Pig - Gochu
Lynx - Llince
Owl - Bufu/Curuxa
Whale - Ballena
Dolphin - Delfin
Shark - Tiburon/Escualu

Râs means laugh

Romanian also uses the word Felina for cats

Tiburon, from caribeean natives, Tiburm its actually one americanism

Oi

Where is Montenegro on the map? Montenegro is not a part of Serbia

So, according to Russian logic, Italy would start a “special military operation” to recover its “lesser brothers”, because it is the only rightful heir to the Roman Empire. But unlike Russia in Ukraine, it would be defeated by France in a matter of weeks.

It's interesting that the word for dog in latin is "Canis" . Because even though we say "Chien" in french, we call poodles "Caniches" ("Caniche" in its singular form).

Why does the Latin "flag" have a greek helmet?

Cat/ felis cattus... in romanian is <pisica/ o pisică> like in persan language: pisica!!!

Many people are unaware that 2 major languages co existed in ancient Rome: classical Latin was used in the Senate, law, school.. Vulgar Latin was spoken in daily life.
The overlap between Classical and Vulgar Latin is way under 50%. This means the average uneducated person in Rome spoke only Vulgar Latin and would hardly understand "Oxford Latin".
