What are non romance languages?

It's a bit tricky to define "non-romance languages" because it depends on what you're trying to exclude. Here are some possible interpretations:

1. Languages not descended from Latin: This is the most straightforward definition. If you're looking for languages that aren't Romance, you want to look at language families other than the Romance family, which includes languages like:

* Indo-European: This family includes English, German, Hindi, Russian, and many others.

* Sino-Tibetan: This family includes Mandarin Chinese, Tibetan, and many others.

* Afro-Asiatic: This family includes Arabic, Hebrew, and many others.

* Niger-Congo: This family includes Swahili, Yoruba, and many others.

* Austronesian: This family includes Malay, Indonesian, and many others.

2. Languages not spoken in Romance-speaking countries: This definition focuses on geography. If you're interested in languages not spoken in countries where Romance languages are dominant, you would exclude languages like Spanish, French, Italian, etc., and consider languages like:

* English (though English has significant Romance influence)

* German

* Russian

* Japanese

* Arabic

* Hindi

3. Languages without Romance influence: This is a more nuanced definition. Many languages, even those not descended from Latin, have borrowed words and grammar from Romance languages. To find languages with *no* Romance influence, you'd need to look at languages that have been isolated from contact with Romance languages. This could include:

* Some indigenous languages of the Americas

* Some isolated languages of the Pacific

To be more specific, please clarify what you are looking for. Do you want a list of languages that are not part of the Romance language family? Are you looking for languages spoken in specific countries? Or are you looking for languages with no Romance influence whatsoever?
