It is distinguished from the nonstandard Vulgar Latin, from which Romance languages developed. Latin of the Classical period had six regularly used cases in the declension of nouns and adjectives (nominative, vocative, genitive, dative, accusative, ablative), with traces of a locative case in some declensional classes of nouns. ]]></dc:description></metadata>
