Everything about Proto-romanian Language totally explained
Proto-Romanian (also known as "Common Romanian",
româna comună or "Ancient Romanian",
străromâna) is a hypothetical
language considered to have been spoken by the ancestors of today's
Romanians and related
Balkan Latin peoples (
Vlachs), between the 7th and the
9th century.
Proto-Romanian already had a structure very distinct from the other Romance languages, with major differences in grammar, morphology and phonology and already was a member of the
Balkan linguistic union. Most of its features can be found in the modern
Eastern Romance languages. It already contained around a hundred loans from Slavic languages, including words such as "trup" (body), as well as some Greek language loans via
Vulgar Latin, but no Hungarian words.
It was broken into the following modern languages and their dialects:
The first language that broke the unity was Aromanian, in the 9th century, followed shortly after by Megleno-Romanian. Istro-Romanian was the last to break the link with Daco-Romanian in the 11th century.
The place where this language was formed is still under debate; most historians put it about the
Jireček Line. See:
Origin of Romanians.
