I always wondered how Romanian separated from the rest of the romance language “area”.
I really need to read up on this, or does anyone here have a TLDR/ELI5?
Was it a tribe that wandered east or something to do with the eastern/western roman empire?
I find this quite interesting.
The colors for Romanian territory are misleading. They are not dialects, more like a difference in accent and a few different words and they are all intelligible for every Romanian, regardless of the region.
The dialects of the Romanian language are found only outside of its territory: istro-romanian, aromanian and meglenoromanian.
Literally almost none of the names in the Iberian peninsula are languages, except Castilian, Galicians ,Portuguese and Catalán… While missing Valencian, which is it’s own thing
What is that “Frankish” dialect, thought it was Walloon, Picard or Champenois/Lorrain instead?
It’s official: Tulcea is Moldavian.
Doesn’t Valencia have it’s own?
Frankish and Burgund are both Germanic.
The colours used in the north of Italy are a mess. Can’t read most of it
Sardinian could be split in two
No particular comment on the rest, one can make these maps arbitrarily detailed or generalist
Many of the dark red Northern Italian languages are on the verge of extinction and very seldom spoken nowadays.
19th century distribution. Far less diversity today.
At first glance I thought it was a temperature map of Europe
Interipr of istria shouldnt really be coloured in it was strongly slavic even before any population movments dince 1918
Andalusian! That language!
Too many people don’t know that the name Romance comes from **Rome**, simply. The language Romans/Rome. Just a FYI for those that didn’t make the connection.
