I just can't leave it without a comment.
MrMarine, you should know that although English was greatly influenced by Latin, it's by no means it's descendent. English as well as other Germanic languages (German, Dutch, Swedish, Gothic, etc.) originated from so-called Proto-Germanic language.
The descendents of the Latin language are called Romance or Romanic, they include Italian, French, Spanish, Romanian etc. The exact number of Romanic languages is not defined, because sometimes it's hard to distinguish between dialects and separate languages; roughly speaking there are a dozen of them. So, only few languages of the world "were derived from Latin".
