These are a number of closely-related languages that form a branch of the Indo-European family whose most recent common ancestor is Latin. Other branches of this family include Celtic (Breton, Irish and Scottish Gaelic, Manx, Welsh), Germanic (Danish, Dutch, English, German, Norwegian, Swedish, etc.), Hellenic (Ancient and Modern Greek), Indic (Bengali, Hindi, Sanskrit, Sinhalese, Urdu, etc.) and Slavic (Bulgarian, Czek, Polish, Russian, etc.). Romance is sometimes considered the modern subset of the Italic, or Latinic, branch.
