Eastern Romance languages

The Eastern Romance languages[1] are a group of Romance languages. Today, the group consists of the Balkan Romance[1] subgroup, which comprises the Romanian language (Daco-Romanian), the Aromanian language and two other related minor languages, Megleno-Romanian, and Istro-Romanian.[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]
