My name is Jun Kurosu. Some of you may remember me from the body swap fiasco.

Others have offered their translation services and I thought perhaps I could help as well. I'm fluent in English, Japanese, and French, and I know some German and Spanish as well. If you need help communicating with anyone who knows those languages, please let me know.

If you speak a language that is in the same family as those, I can try my best to help with that too. It shouldn't be too difficult. At least as long as this keeps up.

[The next part seems to be added after the fact;]

I suppose if anyone wants to learn any of those languages after this mess too, I can assist. In addition, has anyone been able to figure out how the language of this world works?

[The message is repeated and rewritten in every language that he lists, though the German and Spanish versions are a bit broken grammar-wise.]

"Romance" is derived from the Latin verb of saying "to speak in Roman." Most countries that speak Romance languages were part of or under the influence of the Roman Empire.

Back when these languages originated, the Roman Empire spoke Latin, but as with all languages, they developed slang words-- which was referred to as Latin vernacular. Romance languages were derived from this, and "Latin vernacular" came to be known as "Roman vernacular," since it wasn't the proper Latin language.

[Eheheh..] The point is, it's not romantic in the conventional sense. You're not hitting on someone every time you speak.
