Occitano-Romance (Catalan: llengües occitanoromà niques; Occitan: lengas occitanoromanicas; Aragonese: luengas occitanoromanicas) is a branch of the Romance language group that encompasses the Catalan/Valencian, Occitan languages and sometimes Aragonese, spoken in parts of southern France and northeastern Spain.
The classification of Occitano-Romance languages within the wider Romance language family has been a subject of a long-standing debate due to its transitional nature in the Western Romance dialect continuum.
The Gardiol language has been classified by Glottolog as an independent language in the Occitanic language family, but has also been classified as a dialect of Occitan.
