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.
