The Latin peoples are those linguistic-cultural groups that speak one of the Romance languages; they are called that because they speak languages descended from Vulgar Latin, not because they supposably descend from the Latins (Ancient Romans), as the overall majority of people speaking a Romance language can't claim such a heritage.

They include, in Latin Europe:

• Andorrans
• Aromanians
• Catalans
• Corsicans
• French
• French Swiss
• Istro-Romanians
• Italians
• Italian Swiss
• Megleno-Romanians or Moglenites
• Monegasques
• Normans
• Occitans
• Portuguese
• Romanians and Moldovans
• Romansh Swiss
• Sammarinese
• Sardinians
• Sicilians
• Spaniards
• Walloons
• Vlachs

and their cultural descendants in the wider world, though mostly in Latin America.
