Daco-romanian

Daco-Romanian

Daco-Romanian (Romanian: limba dacoromână, Latin: lingua Daco-Romana) (or more precisely: Daco-Romance languages) is the term used to identify the Romanian language in contexts where distinction needs to be made between the various Eastern Romance languages (Daco-Romanian, Aromanian, Istro-Romanian, and Megleno-Romanian). Certain sources classify these four languages as dialects of a larger Romanian language, hence the need for this distinction. It is spoken by 26–30 million people.
