Here are some of the most prominent Romance languages:
* Italian: The language closest to Classical Latin, spoken in Italy.
* Spanish: Spoken primarily in Spain and Latin America.
* Portuguese: Spoken in Portugal, Brazil, and other parts of the world.
* French: Spoken in France, Canada, and parts of Africa.
* Romanian: Spoken in Romania and Moldova.
* Catalan: Spoken in Catalonia, Spain, and parts of France.
* Galician: Spoken in Galicia, Spain.
* Occitan: Spoken in parts of Southern France.
It's worth noting that these are just some of the most well-known Romance languages. There are many smaller, lesser-known languages that also have their roots in Latin, including:
* Sardinian: Spoken on the Italian island of Sardinia.
* Friulian: Spoken in the Friuli region of Italy.
* Ladino: Spoken in the Dolomites region of Italy.
* Mozarabic: A language spoken in the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages, now extinct.
The Romance languages share a common ancestor in Vulgar Latin, the everyday language spoken by the Roman people, as opposed to Classical Latin, the language of literature and official use. Over time, Vulgar Latin evolved into different regional dialects that eventually became the languages we know today.
