The general principle is that names for Romance languages derived from "Roman"
or "Latin" only exist when the language is surrounded by other non-Romance
languages (examples: Romanian, Rumantsh, Ladin, Ladino).  Romance languages
surrounded by other Romance languages need unique names, since "Roman" and
"Latin" could be applied to them all.
