Romance languages

The Romance languages are a group within the Indo-European family of languages that developed from spoken Latin, that is, Vulgar Latin.

The Romance languages are spoken by 800 million people, mainly in Europe and South America. The largest languages in this group are Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian and Romanian. Classical Latin is not part of the Romance languages group - it is an Italic language. Maltese, which has many borrowed words from Italian, is not a Romance language either, but an Arabic language belonging to the Semitic languages group.
