The '''Iberian Romance''', '''Ibero-Romance'''<ref>{{cite book |first=David A. |last=Pharies|title=A Brief History of the Spanish Language|publisher= University of Chicago Press|year=2007 |page=13|isbn= 978-0-226-66683-9}}</ref> or sometimes '''Iberian languages'''<ref group=note>[[Iberian languages]] is also used as a more inclusive term for all languages spoken on the Iberian Peninsula, which in antiquity included the non-Indo-European [[Iberian language]].</ref> are a group of [[Romance languages]] that developed on the [[Iberian Peninsula]], an area consisting primarily of [[Spain]], [[Portugal]], [[Gibraltar]], [[Andorra]] and [[Northern Catalonia|French Catalonia]]. They are today more commonly separated into [[West Iberian languages|West Iberian]], East Iberian ([[Catalan language|Catalan]]/[[Valencian language|Valencian]]) and [[Andalusi Romance|Mozarabic]] language groups. East Iberian's classification is a subject of ongoing scholarly debate, as some argue that the [[Occitano-Romance languages]], composed of [[Occitan language|Occitan]] along with Catalan/Valencian, are better classified as [[Gallo-Romance languages]].

Evolved from the [[Vulgar Latin]] of Iberia, the most widely spoken Iberian Romance languages are [[Spanish language|Spanish]] and [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], followed by [[Catalan language|Catalan-Valencian-Balear]] and [[Galician language|Galician]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ethnologue.org/ethno_docs/distribution.asp?by=size |title=Ethnologue: Statistical Summaries |access-date=2010-11-08 |archive-date=2011-08-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110807023956/http://www.ethnologue.org/ethno_docs/distribution.asp?by=size |url-status=dead }}</ref> These languages also have their own regional and local varieties. Based on [[mutual intelligibility]], Dalby counts seven "outer" languages, or language groups: [[Galician-Portuguese]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[Asturleonese]], "Wider"-[[Aragonese language|Aragonese]], "Wider"-[[Catalan language|Catalan]], [[Occitan language|Provençal+Lengadocian]], and "Wider"-[[Gascon language|Gascon]].<ref name=Dalby>{{cite book|first=David|last=Dalby|year=2000|chapter=5=Indo-European phylosector|chapter-url=http://www.linguasphere.info/lcontao/tl_files/pdf/master/OL-SITE%201999-2000%20MASTER%20ONE%20Sectors%205-Zones%2050-54.pdf|title=The Linguasphere register of the world's languages and speech communities.|publisher=Observatoire Linguistique, Linguasphere Press|volume=2|location=Oxford|url=http://www.linguasphere.info/?page=chain&id_chain=1017077}}</ref>

In addition to those languages, there are a number of [[Portuguese-based creole languages]] and [[Spanish-based creole languages]], for instance [[Papiamento]].

Like all Romance languages,<ref>{{cite book |first=Sarah |last=Thomason|title=Language Contact|publisher= Georgetown University Press|year=2001 |page=263|isbn= 978-0-87840-854-2}}</ref> the Iberian Romance languages descend from [[Vulgar Latin]], the nonstandard (in contrast to [[Classical Latin]]) form of the Latin language spoken by soldiers and merchants throughout the Roman Empire. With the [[Campaign history of the Roman military|expansion of the empire]], Vulgar Latin came to be spoken by inhabitants of the various Roman-controlled territories. Latin and its descendants have been spoken in Iberia since the [[Punic Wars]], when the Romans conquered the territory<ref>{{cite book |first1=Keith |last1=Brown |first2=Sarah |last2=Ogilvie |title=Concise Encyclopedia of Languages of the World|publisher=Elsevier Science|year=2008 |page=1020|isbn=978-0-08-087774-7}}</ref> (see [[Roman conquest of Hispania]]).

The modern Iberian Romance languages were formed roughly through the following process:

* Development of [[Old Spanish language|Old Spanish]], [[Galician-Portuguese]], [[Old Leonese language|Old Leonese]] and [[Navarro-Aragonese]] (the [[West Iberian languages]]) and early [[Catalan language]] from Latin between the eighth and tenth centuries. The genetic classification of early Navarro-Aragonese, Catalan, and Occitan is unsettled.

* Further development into modern Spanish, Portuguese, Aragonese, Asturleonese, Galician, Catalan (see [[languages of Iberia]]: [[languages of Spain]], [[languages of Portugal]] and [[languages of Andorra]]) between the fifteenth and twentieth centuries.

== Common traits between Portuguese, Spanish and Catalan ==
This list points to common traits of these Iberian subsets, especially when compared to the other Romance languages in general. Thus, changes such as Catalan '''vuit/huit''' and Portuguese '''oito''' vs. Spanish '''ocho''' are not shown here, as the change -it- > -ch- is exclusive to Spanish among the Iberian Romance languages.

=== Between Portuguese, Spanish and Catalan ===
==== Phonetic ====
* The length difference between r/rr is preserved through phonetic means as {{IPA|[ɾ]}}/{{IPA|[r]}}, so that the second consonant in words such as '''caro''' and '''carro''' are not the same in any of the three.
* Latin U remains {{IPA|[u]}} and is not changed to {{IPA|[y]}}.

==== Semantic ====
* The Iberian Romance languages all maintain a complete [[copula (linguistics)#Essence vs. state|essence-state distinction]] in [[Romance copula|the copula]] (the verb "to be"). The "essence" form (Portuguese and Spanish ''ser'' and Catalan ''ser'' and ''ésser'') is derived in whole or in part from the Latin ''sum'' (the Latin copula), while the "state" form (''estar'' in all three languages) is derived from the Latin ''stāre'' ("to stand").

=== Between Spanish and Catalan, but not Portuguese ===
==== Phonetic ====
* The distinction between Latin short ''-n-'', ''-l-'' and long ''-nn-'', ''-ll-'' was preserved by means of palatalizing ''-nn-'', ''-ll-'' to {{IPA|/ɲ, ʎ/}}, as in Latin ''annum'' > Spanish ''año'', Catalan ''any'' vs. Latin ''manum'' > Spanish ''mano'', Old Catalan ''man'' (modern Catalan ''mà''). This also affects some initial L in Catalan. However, in most dialects of Spanish, original {{IPA|/ʎ/}} has become delateralized. Portuguese maintains the distinction, but in a different way; compare ''ano'' vs. ''mão''.

=== Between Spanish and Portuguese, but not Catalan ===
==== Phonetic ====
* Initial Latin CL/FL/PL are palatalized further than in Standard Italian, and become indistinguishable (to CH in Portuguese and LL in Spanish).
* Final e/o remains (although its pronunciation changed in Portuguese, and some dialects drop final E).

==== Grammatical ====
* The synthetic preterite, inherited from earlier stages of Latin, remains the main past tense.

=== Between Portuguese and Catalan, but not Spanish ===
==== Phonetic ====
* Velarized L {{IPA|[ɫ]}}, which [[Latin spelling and pronunciation|existed]] in Latin, is preserved at the end of syllables, and was later generalized to all positions in most dialects of both languages.
* Stressed Latin e/o, both open and closed, is preserved so and does not become a [[diphthong]].

==Statuses==
Politically (not linguistically), there are four major officially recognised Iberian Romance languages:
* '''[[Spanish language|Spanish]]''' (see [[names given to the Spanish language]]), is the national and [[official language]] of [[List of countries where Spanish is an official language|21 countries]], including Spain.<ref>{{cite web |website=Promotora Española de Lingüística |url=http://www.proel.org/index.php?pagina=mundo/indoeuro/italico/romance/iberorromance/espanol |title=Lengua Española o Castellana |language=es}}</ref> Spanish is the [[List of languages by total number of speakers|fourth-most widely spoken]] language in the world, with over 570 total million speakers, and the [[List of languages by number of native speakers|second-most widely spoken ''native'' language]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ethnologue.org/ethno_docs/distribution.asp?by=size#3 |title=Ethnologue: Table 3.

* '''[[Portuguese language|Portuguese]]''', official language in [[List of countries and territories where Portuguese is an official language|nine countries]] including Portugal and [[Brazil]]. After Spanish, Portuguese is the second most widely spoken Romance language in the world with over 250 million speakers, currently ranked seventh by number of native speakers.<ref>See Ethnologue</ref> Various [[Portuguese dialects]] exist outside of the [[European Portuguese|European standard]] spoken in Portugal.
* '''[[Catalan language|Catalan]]''' is the official language in [[Andorra]]<ref>[https://www.andorramania.com/constit_gb.htm Constitution of Andorra] (Article 2.1)</ref> and co-official in the Spanish autonomous communities of [[Catalonia]], [[Balearic Islands]] and [[Valencian Community]] (where it is known as '''[[Valencian language|Valencian]]'''), and the [[Italy|Italian]] city of [[Alghero]]. It is also spoken in the French department of [[Pyrénées-Orientales]] ([[Northern Catalonia]]) without official recognition. Catalan is closely related to [[Occitan language|Occitan]],<ref>[[Pierre Bec|Bec, Pierre]] (1973), ''Manuel pratique d'occitan moderne'', coll. Connaissance des langues, Paris: Picard</ref><ref>Sumien, Domergue (2006), ''La standardisation pluricentrique de l'occitan: nouvel enjeu sociolinguistique, développement du lexique et de la morphologie'', coll.

When not treated as one, the two languages are widely classified together as [[Occitano-Romance languages]], a group which is itself sometimes grouped with the [[Gallo-Romance languages]]. Catalan has two main dialectal branches (Eastern and Western Catalan) and several subdialects, and is spoken by about 10 million people (ranking the seventy-fifth most spoken language in the world),<ref name="Ethnologue">Ethnologue</ref> mostly in five variants: [[Central Catalan]], [[Northern Catalan]], [[Northwestern Catalan]], [[Valencian language|Valencian]] and [[Balearic dialect|Balearic]].
* '''[[Galician language|Galician]]''', co-official in [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]] and also spoken in adjacent western parts of [[Asturias]] and [[Castile and León]]. Closely related to [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], with Spanish influence.<ref>{{cite book |first=Rebecca |last=Posner |author-link=Rebecca Posner |title=The Romance Languages|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=1996 |page=57|isbn=978-0-521-28139-3}}</ref> It shares the same origin as Portuguese, from the medieval [[Galician-Portuguese]]. Modern Galician is spoken by around 3.2 million people and is ranked 160th by number of speakers.<ref name="Ethnologue"/>

Additionally, '''[[Asturian language|Asturian]]''' (dialect of Asturleonese), although not an official language,<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.elcomerciodigital.com/gijon/20090112/local/asturias/miembro-andecha-astur-enfrenta-200901121726.html |title=La jueza a Fernando González: 'No puede usted hablar en la lengua que le dé la gana' |work=El Comercio |date=12 January 2009 }}</ref> is recognised by the [[autonomous communities of Spain|autonomous community]] of [[Asturias]]. It is one of the Asturleonese dialects along with '''[[Mirandese language|Mirandese]]''', which in Portugal holds an official status as a minority language.<ref>See: [http://www.uoc.edu/euromosaic/web/document/asturia/an/i1/i1.html Euromosaic report]</ref>

The Iberian Romance languages are a conventional group of Romance languages. Many authors use the term in a geographical sense although they are not necessarily a phylogenetic group (the languages grouped as Iberian Romance may not all directly descend from a common ancestor). Phylogenetically, there is disagreement about what languages should be considered within the Iberian Romance group; for example, some authors consider that East Iberian, also called Occitano-Romance, could be more closely related to languages of northern Italy (or also Franco-Provençal, the langues d'oïl and Rhaeto-Romance). A common conventional geographical grouping is the following:

*East Iberian
*West Iberian
