The Eastern Romance languages[1] are a group of Romance languages. Today, the group consists of the Balkan Romance (also known as Daco-Romance[1]) subgroup which comprises the Romanian language (Daco-Romanian), Aromanian language (Macedo-Romanian) and two other related minor languages, Megleno-Romanian, and Istro-Romanian; and the Castelmezzano dialect, in southern Italy.[2][3][4]

Some classifications also include the extinct Dalmatian language (otherwise included in the Italo-Dalmatian group) as part of the Balkan Romance subgroup,[5][6][7] considering Dalmatian a bridge between Italian and Romanian.[8][9]
