Which languages belongs to the Latin branch of Aryan-speaking family?

It's important to clarify a few things:

* "Aryan" is no longer a scientifically accepted term for language families. It was used in the past to refer to Indo-European languages, but it has been linked to racist ideologies and is now considered outdated and offensive.

* The correct term is "Indo-European" for the language family that includes Latin.

The Latin branch of the Indo-European family includes:

* Romance Languages: These languages evolved from Vulgar Latin, the spoken language of the Roman Empire. Examples include:

* Italian

* Spanish

* Portuguese

* French

* Romanian

* Catalan

* Sardinian

* Friulian

* Occitan

* And many more

Other languages within the Indo-European family, but not part of the Latin branch:

* Germanic Languages: English, German, Dutch, Swedish, etc.

* Slavic Languages: Russian, Polish, Czech, Ukrainian, etc.

* Indo-Iranian Languages: Hindi, Urdu, Persian, Bengali, etc.

* Celtic Languages: Irish, Gaelic, Welsh, etc.

* Greek

* Armenian

* Albanian

It's important to note that this is a simplification. There are many more branches and sub-branches within the Indo-European family, and the relationships between languages can be complex and nuanced.
