Editing Name of the Spanish language (section)

===="Román paladino"====
The poet [[Gonzalo de Berceo]], writing in the 13th century, used the phrase {{lang|osp|román paladino}} to mean simple, straightforward language, the language spoken by the common people, as opposed to Latin. In the famous passage from his {{lang|osp|Vida de Santo Domingo de Silos}}, Berceo says {{lang|osp|Quiero fer una prosa en roman paladino, / en cual suele el pueblo fablar con so vezino; / ca non so tan letrado por fer otro latino. / Bien valdra, como creo, un vaso de bon vino}} ("I want to write verse [sic] <!--Dictionaries of Old Spanish define "prosa" as "composición métrica", "poema"--> in clear vernacular, in which the townsfolk speak to their neighbor; for I'm not so learned as to make another in Latin. It will be worth, I think, a glass of good wine").<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.lavanguardia.com/magazine/20121108/54354891844/en-roman-paladino-alex-rodriguez-editorial-magazine.html |title=La Vanguardia, Nov 8 2012: "En roman paladino" |date=8 November 2012 |access-date=2015-02-03 |archive-date=2015-02-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150203145814/http://www.lavanguardia.com/magazine/20121108/54354891844/en-roman-paladino-alex-rodriguez-editorial-magazine.html |url-status=live }}</ref> {{lang|osp|Roman}}—and, more frequently {{lang|osp|romanz}} (and later {{lang|osp|romance}})—was used in medieval Spanish as a synonym of {{lang|osp|castellano}}, i.e. the language now commonly called [[Old Spanish language|Old Spanish]].<ref name="Kasten">Lloyd A.
