Template:TOC-right The following list comprises 47 Romance varieties which are generally considered to form separate languages, though scholars may disagree in some cases. The list is based on the one available at the Ethnologue, though some have been changed to reflect more common names. Some varieties which might constitute separate languages on linguistic grounds (such as Sassarese Sardinian), or which might be politically regarded as highly distinct (e.g. Québécois), are subsumed under the main language name where their status is unclear.

This list arranges languages purely through their 'genetic' (i.e. historical) relatedness, not their political importance, number of speakers or grammatical similarities (though languages that are close together in this list this will typically also be structurally similar). French, for instance, is buried deeply within the Italo-Western group, and is just one of no less than six varieties in the 'Oïl' group. For a list of the better-known Romance languages, see Related Articles.
