The Romance family is one that is low down in the categorical scale of languages, meaning it has a limited number. In other words, nearly all languages are not Romance, and so below are a list of those that are.

Romance comes from the word "roman", a reflection of the fact that the Romance languages all originate primarily from Latin due to the spread of the Roman Empire through Europe.

The following languages are the most spoken Romance languages:

Italian

French

Spanish

Catalan

Portuguese

Romanian

There are many others, including the many regional languages of France, Spain and Italy, Romanian's relatives, and the many languages of the Roma traveller groups and the Swiss language of Romansch.
