> Romance languages lost all their declensi-
Incorrect. In Italy the vocative case still exists, when you call someone's name you stress the penultimate syllable and everything after that gets removed.
e.g.
Francesco -> Francè
Maria -> Marì
Do other Romance languages still have the vocative case?

>and everything after that gets removed
?
Vocative is the most useless case. I don't think any IE languages besides Polish and Czech use it and even here it's losing popularity in favor of nominative
I don't know about other Romance languages, but in Basque they still use the vocative case.
In Portuguese it still exists, if you want to call João you say:
Ó João Caralho!
Vocative is still used in Greek, Hindi, Lithuanian, etc.

that's cool. English used to have "O" as well, but no one uses it anymore. It still exists in the name of my country's anthem "O Canada".
Only that Basque is not a romance language.
I won’t even comment on you pretending not knowing the answer for Spanish, freak.
Ok you busted me.

That's not a case and isn't a natural part of English but something added to conform to Latin. The vocative was probably lost in the late proto-Germanic stage

Go get fucked by a nigger, burgalés.
That's why other slavs sound like retards to Czechs
These languages are not like Latin, they were made by non-Romans mixing their languages with Latin, overtime the Latin part has all but disappeared. Calling any of these Latin would be like calling English "German", yeah English derives from ancient German, but after only a few hundred years of little contact between English speakers and German speakers, the German part of Old English was gone. The last people to speak Latin were the Western Romans who died off almost 1500 years ago. The Eastern Romans mixed Greek with their Latin so that quickly died off. And Catholic larpers don't count

same in german like in the christmas song "o tannenbaum" but it's not a left over from PIE but a much later loan from ancient greek
>it's losing popularity in favor of nominative
brain without a single hint of wrinkling this guy

Extremaduran Asturian language has kept the vocative, as long as you consider it a language and not a meme transition dialect between Portuguese/Old Spanish
