African Romance is an extinct Romance language that was once spoken in North Africa (Algeria and Morocco). Little is known about this language that may have been spoken until the 17th century.
It is believed that African Romance evolved from Latin as it was spoken in North Africa and it was subsequently supplanted by Arabic after the Muslim conquest.
