Linguists categorize Portuguese as one of the Romancelanguages. For the language is descended from the interaction between the Latin of the ancient Romans and the ancient languages of the Iberian Peninsula. The category includes major and minor languages, with the difference being in the number of speakers and in the current and historical impacts of the languages. The other major Romance languages are French, Italian, Romanian, and Spanish. Examples of minor Romance languages are the Catalan of Barcelona, and the Galician of northwestern Spain.
