Gallo-Romance languages
branch of Gallo-Iberian broadly consisting of Gallo-Italic, Gallo-Rhaetian, and Moselle Romance, or narrowly consisting of Franco-Provençal and Oïl
The Gallo-Romance are a branch of Romance languages. It includes French and several other languages spoken in modern France and northern Italy and Spain. According to some linguists, it also includes Occitan and Catalan. Others group both together as a separate Occitano-Romance branch or place Catalan within the Ibero-Romance group. The Gallo-Romance languages, along with the Ibero-Romance and Rhaeto-Romance groups, form Western Romance.
