Family Tree
The Iberian Romance languages are conventional Romance languages, many authors use the term in a geographical sense, although they are not necessarily phylogenetic . Phylogenetically, there is a disagreement about whether what languages should be considered within the Iberian Romance group; for example, some authors consider that the East Iberian, also called Occitano-Romance, could be more closely related to languages of northern Italy. A common conventional geographical grouping is the following:
- East Iberian

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or tree:
“The family: I believe more unhappiness comes from this source than from any other—I mean the attempt to prolong family connection unduly, and to make people hang together artificially who would never naturally do so.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“I said I had the tree. It wasn’t true.
The opposite was true. The tree had me.
The minute it was left with me alone,
It caught me up as if I were the fish
And it the fishpole.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
