Romance
Latin's linguistic offspring
Romance describes the group of languages that evolved from Latin—Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, and others.
These are the Romance languages, from an old sense meaning "in the Roman manner." The term also applies to cultural elements associated with these regions: Romance literature, Romance philology. (Lowercase romance is a love affair or courtship.)
