The Romance languages (sometimes referred to as Romanic languages, Latin languages, Neolatin languages or Neo-Latin languages) are a branch of the Indo-European language family comprising all the languages that descend from Latin, the language of ancient Rome. There are more than 600 million native speakers worldwide, mainly in the Americas, Europe, and Africa, as well as many smaller regions scattered throughout the world. The six most widely spoken Romance languages are Spanish, Portuguese and Galician, French, Italian, Romanian and Catalan. Among numerous other Romance languages are Corsican, Leonese, Occitan, Aromanian, Sardinian and Venetian.
