 Geographical distribution of the four Balkan Romance languages in the early-20th-century | |
The Balkan Romance languages, also known as Daco-Romance languages, form the easternmost sub-branch[1] of the Romance language family.[2]
Languages
Balkan Romance comprises Romanian (or Daco-Romanian), Aromanian (or Macedo-Romanian), Megleno-Romanian and Istro-Romanian, according to the most widely accepted classification of the Romance languages.[1][3][4][5][6] The four languages—sometimes labelled as "dialects" of Romanian[1]—developed from a common ancestor.[6] They are surrounded by non-Romance languages.[7] Judaeo-Spanish (or Ladino) is also spoken in the Balkan Peninsula, but it is rarely listed among the Balkan Romance languages because its development was independent from them.[5]
