7th c., Isidore of Seville,
Etymologiae IX.I:
- Latīnās autem linguās quattuor esse quīdam dīxērunt, id est prīscam, latīnam, rōmānam, mixtam. Mixta, quae, post imperium lātius prōmōtum, semel cum mōribus et hominibus in cīvitātem rōmānam inrūpit, integritātem verbī per barbarismōs et soloecismōs corrumpēns.
- Some, however, say that there are four Latin languages: Ancient, Latin, Roman and Mixed. Mixed , which, after the Empire expanded more broadly, rushed into Roman civilization along with customs and people, corrupting the integrity of speech with barbarisms and solecisms.
