The Italo-Dalmatian languages or Central Romance Languages are a group of Romance languages in Italy, Corsica, and, formerly, the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia. They are sometimes classified with Romanian as Eastern Romance and sometimes with Western Romance (Gallo-Italic, French, and Iberian) as Italo-Western, and sometimes split, with the Italian languages in Italo-Western and Dalmatian in Eastern Romance.
Languages
