Romance_languages

After the break-up of the Roman Empire, the vulgar latin began to evolve differently in different areas. The romance languages are the results of this process, and form a subfamily of the Italic languages.

• Sardinian language
• Romanian language
• Italian language
• Portuguese language
• Spanish language
• Catalan language
• Rhaetian language
• French language
• Occitan language

And, of course, the classical Latin language that was spoken conservatively as a lingua franca throughout the Middle Ages is still learned by some.
