This one takes on the personal subject pronouns. The Romance languages inherit *ego \"I\", *nos \"we\" and *tu \"you\", *vos \"all of you\" as first and second person pronouns. The third-person pronouns come from *ille (masculine) and *illa (feminine). The languages developed distinct formal/polite second-person pronouns. Vulgar Latin *tu is now a familiar or informal way to address you. Iberian languages (Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan etc.) and Italian languages use special third-person pronouns to address you politely: Catalan 'vostè canta' \"you (sir or madam) sing\" versus 'tu cantes' \"you sing\". French, Romansh and Romanian rely on the second-person plural *vos for this purpose: 'vous chantez' \"you (sir or madam) sing\" versus 'tu chantes' \"you sing\". Vulgar Latin verbs have endings that give information about the subject (see the videos on Romance verbs). Unlike English verbs, Latin verbs do not require subject pronouns. For instance, *cantas alone means \"you sing\". The Romance languages generally work the same way, with the exception of the Langues d'oïl (including French) and Rhaeto-Romance. \"The Grammar of Romance\" has an associated website (free) and book ($). They offer even more explanations and examples Music by Kevin MacLeod\n
