Best Answer

Spanish is closely related to Latin.

The Spanish language is one of the Romance, or Romanic, languages: this is a branch of the Italic subfamily of the huge Indo-European language family also known as PIE (Proto-Indo-European).

The Italic subfamily of PIE all originate with ancient Rome, where Vulgar Latin was spoken.

The main Italic - popularly called Latin - languages spoken today, in descending order of speakers, are:

Spanish

Portugese

Italian

French

Romanian

Catalan
