Latin peoples
Encyclopedia : L : LA : LAT : Latin peoples
The Latin peoples are those linguistic-cultural groups that speak one of the Romance languages; they are called that because they speak languages descended from Vulgar Latin, not because they supposably descend from the Latins (Ancient Romans), as the overall majority of people speaking a Romance language can't claim such a heritage.
They include, in Latin Europe:
- Andorrans
- Aromanians
- Catalans
- Corsicans
- French
- French Swiss
- Istro-Romanians
- Italians
- Italian Swiss
- Megleno-Romanians or Moglenites
- Monegasques
- Normans
- Occitans
- Portuguese
- Romanians and Moldovans
- Romansh Swiss
- Sammarinese
- Sardinians
- Sicilians
- Spaniards
- Walloons
- Vlachs
