Eastern Romance languages
The Eastern Romance languages are a group of Romance languages. Today, the group consists of the Balkan Romance subgroup which comprises the Romanian language, Aromanian language and two other related minor languages, Megleno-Romanian, and Istro-Romanian; and the Castelmezzano dialect, in southern Italy.
Some classifications also include the extinct Dalmatian language as part of the Balkan Romance subgroup, considering Dalmatian a bridge between Italian and Romanian.Samples of Eastern Romance languages
