 | | A common Romance language with dialectal differences was spoken throughout the ancient Roman Empire. |
 | | Minor languages, like Astur-Leonese, Aragonese, etc., became regarded as mere dialects by most people, but they are Romance variants with enough distinct features to rank them as separate languages. |
 | | Thus, there are four major Romance languages in Iberia today, and three main groups of minor Romance languages, Astur-Leonese, Aragonese, and Occitan. |
