List and classification
The following list of Romance languages is based on books written by recognized scholars, especially Pierre Bec[1], Jacques Allières[2], Rebecca Posner[3], Holtus & Meteltin & Schmitt [4] and M. Metzeltin[5].
- Balkano-Romance group
- Romanian language
- Dalmatian language (extinct)
- Italo-Romance group
- Sardinian language (its classification in the Italo-Romance group is debated)
- Italian language
- Corsican language (its inclusion in Italian is debated)
- Northern Italian language (its inclusion in Italian is debated, some scholars think that it is more related to the Rhaeto-Romance and Gallo-Romance groups)[6]
- Rhaeto-Romance group (an overlap of Gallo-Romance and Italo-Romance)

Another classification, especially supported by Gerhard Rohlfs[7], divides the Romance languages between Eastern Romania and Western Romania (Romania being a Latin name for the Romance-speaking world). The dividing line between the two groups splits Italy from La Spezia to Rimini (or more exactly from Carrara to Senigallia), setting Northern Italian in Western Romania and Italian proper in Eastern Romania.
- Eastern Romania comprises Romanian, Dalmatian, Italian proper and Corsican.
- Western Romania comprises Northern Italian, Friulian, Ladin, Romansh, French, Francoprovençal, Occitan, Catalan, Aragonese, Spanish, Asturian-Leonese, Galician-Portuguese and Mozarabic.
