Gallo-Romance languages

Gallo-Romance languages are a group of Romance languages that evolved from Latin, primarily spoken in parts of France and surrounding regions. This group includes dialects like French, Occitan, and Franco-Provençal. They share common roots in the Latin spoken by the Roman Empire, but have developed unique characteristics over centuries through local influences and changes. Gallo-Romance languages are distinct from other Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish, which evolved in different regions of Europe, resulting in diverse linguistic traits and cultural expressions.
