Oh so you are a burgundy interpret, fascinating… How did you discover yourself a passion for burgundy culture?
You know I find it quite absurd that one would think there were no East Romance speakers North of the Danube or in the Balkan areas currently inhabited by Eastern Romance speakers but somehow they’re majority mostly in areas were there aren’t any Eastern Romance speakers today.
I’d like to see your source for placing Sami as the dominant language that far south…
What is the language in North Crimea?
😀
Um… East Romance is under danube? Thats wrong
Some terms are too broad and some too specific.
Galaico-Portuguese was already spoken during that period
Nice but incorrect. The issues I see:
* Complete disregard for Magyar and Bulgarian languages.
* 600 CE is considered the end of Proto-Albanian.
* East Romance should have extended towards the north a bit along the Carpatian mountains.
* Exaggerated African romance languages.
* Koine Greek, not Kione Greek.
* Greek zone is bigger that what it actually was.
* Nothing about the Anatolian languages.
* There is no Circassian language but Adyghe languages.
It’s a pity that the Coptic language and culture, the last remnant of Ancient Egypt got almost wiped out by the Arabs in the following centuries.
Proto-Albanian 💀💀💀💀
That tiny bit of Celtic language presence in Galicia in the year 600 is not due to a lack of romanisation, but to something quite interesting.
In the late 6th century, a britonnic chieftain named Maeloc or Mailoc migrated to Gallaecia with his people, settling down in the North of what today is the province of Lugo. They were granted lands, and Maeloc was made a bishop of the newly created episcopal see of Britonia (Bretoña, close to Mondoñedo).
This celtic presence is the reason why a celtic language was spoken in the North of Lugo until the early 9th century.
The language border between West Romance and the Frankish dialacts that would become Dutch actually reached Étaples (Dutch: Stapel) on the Channel coast. The border would then go almost straight via Béthune (Betun) and Lille (Rijsel) to the current Belgian border.
The map disclaimer is the part that deserves an upvote.
Other than that, I guess the “East Romance” speakers North of Danube were hiding really well – so that the author of the map missed them (understandably so). Eh, with so many invading peoples around, sometimes a low profile is a good strategy, long term. And yes, some of them did take the local language, especially where the Latin influence was lower or none, such as the [Moravian Wallachians](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravian_Wallachia). But painting the whole area as Slavic speaking is a gross error.
It’s interesting how the current map of [Romanian speaking areas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlachs) is almost a copy of the “conservative” map of Dacia (at its largest extent it span from Tatra Mountains to Southern Bug, past Odessa, in South Ukraine).
How many centuries before:
-Frankish was spoken in Paris?
-Lombardic was spoken in Rome?
-Visigothic was spoken in Madrid?
-Kievan Rus was spoken in Moscow?
By the 7th century Magyar tribes lived north of the Caucasus.

Rightful Slavic clay
