There are around 25 living Romance languages; different linguists disagree on the exact number.
The most widely-spoken are Spanish (385 million native speakers), Portuguese (210 million native speakers), French (75 million), Italian (60 million), and Romanian (23 million). Most of the other Romance languages are spoken mainly in Europe, but in small regions; these smaller languages include Catalan (Northern Spain and Andorra) and Walloon (Belgium).
