The Gallo-Romance languages, along with the Ibero-Romance and Rhaeto-Romance groups, form Western Romance. Like all Romance languages, the Gallo-romance languages are derived from Latin. They have developed as a subgroup via one Gallo-Romance proto-language which was spoken in Gaul between the fourth and ninth centuries.
