These languages are referred to as Romance languages because they are all descended from Latin, the language of the Roman Empire. As the Roman Empire expanded, Latin spread throughout Europe and eventually evolved into the distinct languages spoken in these regions today. The term "Romance" comes from the Latin phrase "romanice loqui," meaning to speak in Roman fashion.
