*the romance languages are the ‘modern languages’ that evolved from ‘spoken latin’ between the ‘500s’ + ‘800s’ and that thus form a branch of the ‘italic languages’ within the ‘indo-european’ language family*
.
(today, around ‘800 million people’ are ‘native speakers’ worldwide)
(mainly in ‘europe’ and ‘the americas’, but also elsewhere)
(additionally, the major ‘romance languages’ have many ‘non-native speakers’ and enjoy widespread use as ‘lingua francas’)
(this is especially the case for ‘french’, which is in widespread use throughout ‘central africa’ + ‘west africa’, ‘madagascar’, ‘mauritius’, and the ‘maghreb region’)
.
(the 5 most widely spoken ‘romance languages’ by ‘number of native speakers’ are…)
“spanish”
(410 million)
“portuguese”
(216 million)
“french”
(75 million)
“italian”
(60 million)
“romanian”
(25 million)
.
(because of the difficulty of imposing ‘boundaries’ on a ‘continuum’, various counts of the ‘romance languages’ are given; ‘dalby’ lists 23 based on ‘mutual intelligibility’…)
*IBERO-ROMANCE LANGUAGES*
examples –>
‘portuguese’ + ‘galician’
‘mirandese’ + ‘asturian-leonese’
‘spanish’
‘aragonese’
.
*OCCITANO-ROMANCE LANGUAGES*
examples –>
‘catalan’
‘occitan’
.
*GALLO-ROMANCE LANGUAGES*

‘langues d’oïl’ (including ‘french’)
‘franco-provençal’
.
*RHAETO-ROMANCE LANGUAGES*

“DALMATION LANGUAGES”

*examples* —>
‘romanian’
‘daco-romanian’
‘istro-romanian’
‘aromanian’
‘megleno-romanian’
.
(in several of these cases, more than 1 ‘variety’ has been ‘standardized’, so it is considered a ‘distinct language’ in the ‘popular conception’)
(this is true, for example, with…)
(‘asturian’ / ‘leonese’)
(‘neapolitan’ / ‘sicilian’)
.
(who were the last ‘tribe’ of ‘homo sapiens’ to live without developing a spoken language?)
