To determine which languages evolved directly from Latin, we need to explore the history of language development in Europe.
Latin itself is an Italic language that was spoken in ancient Rome. As the Roman Empire expanded, Latin became the dominant language in the region. Over time, however, the Roman Empire disbanded, and various factors, including geography and migration, influenced the development of different languages.
Two languages that evolved directly from Latin are:
1. Italian: Italian is a Romance language that evolved from Vulgar Latin, the colloquial form of Latin spoken by the common people. It developed in the Italian Peninsula and was heavily influenced by dialects and languages of the region.
2. Spanish: Spanish, also known as Castilian, is another Romance language that developed directly from Latin. It emerged on the Iberian Peninsula and was influenced by the languages spoken by the Celtic, Iberian, and Visigothic populations.
These two languages, Italian and Spanish, have a clear lineage from Latin and are widely spoken in Europe today.
