Etymology
Romanal is made of Roman + -al, where Roman points to the 'Romance' languages like French and Spanish and -al means 'related to'. A helpful way to remember Romanal is that it was a made-up international language (created in 1909) meant to be easy for speakers of those languages, so the name shows it is a language 'related to' them.
