Best Answer

Languages that developed from Latin are known as "Romance" languages. The term comes from the Latin phrase Romanice loqui, which means "to speak in Roman fashion".

Languages that descended from Latin are collectively called the Romance languages, though you may also hear them referred to as the Romanic languages, Latin languages, or Neo-Latin languages.

The six most widely spoken standardized Romance languages are Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Romanian, and Catalan. Some other Romance languages are Corsican, Leonese, Occitan, Aromanian, Sardinian, Sicilian, Venetian, Neapolitan, Asturian,Galician, and Friulian.
