Tutorials on Indo-European languages.

Wikipedia:
The Romance languages (sometimes referred to as Romanic languages, or Neolatin languages) are a branch of the Indo-European language family comprising all the languages that descend from Latin, the language of ancient Rome. They have more than 700 million native speakers worldwide, mainly in the Americas, Europe, and Africa, as well as many smaller regions scattered throughout the world.

The Romance language most widely spoken natively today is Spanish, followed by Portuguese, French, Italian, Romanian and Catalan all of which are main and official national languages in at least one country.

The Romance Languages:
The five major contemporary languages of this branch are French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian and Spanish. Among other notable languages and dialects are Catalan (català), Occitan (occitan), Rhaeto-Romance (romontsch), Sardinian (sardu), Corsican (corsu), Galician (galego), Aruminian, Asturian, Auvernhat (Occitan), Campidanese (Sardinian), Extremadurian (Spanish), Friulan (Rhaeto-Romance), Gascon (Occitan), Gallurese (Italian), Ladin (Rhaeto-Romance), Lemosin (Occitan), Logudorese (Sardinian), Macedo-Romanian (Romanian), Nuorese (Sardinian), Provençal (Occitan), Sassari (Italian), Sicilian (Italian), Surselvan (Rhaeto-Romance), Valencian (Catalan), Vallader (Rhaeto-Romance), though I am positive that I have neglected more than a few.
