The Eastern Romance languages[1] are a group of Romance languages. The group comprises the Romanian language (Daco-Romanian), the Aromanian language and two other related minor languages, Megleno-Romanian and Istro-Romanian.[2][3][4]

The extinct Dalmatian language (otherwise included in the Central Romance group) is sometimes included as part of the Eastern Romance group,[5][6][7] being considered a bridge between Italian and Romanian.[8][9] Some classifications of the Romance languages consider Eastern and Central Romance to form a clade (often simply called "Eastern Romance", with "Eastern Romance proper" referred to as Balkan or Daco-Romance),[1] but nowadays Central Romance are more often grouped with the Western Romance languages as "Italo-Western".
