Romance languages are a group of languages that evolved from Latin, the language of the ancient Romans. They include popular languages like Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian. These languages share similar vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation due to their common origin, making them easier to learn for speakers of one Romance language. The Romance language family is part of the larger Indo-European language family, which includes many other languages around the world. Each Romance language has its own unique characteristics and regional dialects, but they all retain traces of their Latin roots, reflecting the history and culture of the regions where they are spoken.
