Proto-Rumanian
The proto-Rumanian (or Rumanian commun run , româna comună ) is a hypothetical language, which one supposes to be spoken by the ancestors about the Rumanian about today, the Romans , occupying the Romania , and by the Vlahs, between the 7th century and the 9th century.
Proto-Rumanian has already a structure very different from the other Romance languages, with large differences in his grammar, his morphology and his phonology, and formed already part of the linguistic Balkan union. Many characteristic features are found today in the Eastern Romance languages. He contains about a hundred loans to the Slavic , like some of the Greek via the Vulgar Latin .
He separated between the following modern languages and their dialects:
- the Rumanian (invited also Daco-Rumanian to distinguish it from the other Eastern Romance languages)
- the Aroumain
- the Mégléno-Rumanian
- the Istro-Rumanian
The first language to be separated was the aroumain, at the 9th century, follow-up shortly after of mégléno-Rumanian. Istro-Rumanian separated at the 11th century.
The place where this language was born is still prone to controversies; the majority of the historians locate it at the north of the Ligne Jireček, i.e. in the areas of Dacie (current Romania (the Banat, the Olténie, the Transylvania)), the Messiah (Eastern Serbia) or the Albania of the North-East.
