Balkano-Romance languages : a lexicostatistic test

Vol.60,No.1-2(2012)

Abstract
In the article the mutual genetic relationship between four living Balkano-Romance idioms are studied, applying the method of so-called "recalibrated" glottochronology. According to results, it is possible to divide the Balkano-Romance dialect continuum into two parts, Northern, represented by Daco-Rumanian and Istro-Rumanian, and Southern, consisting of Arumanian and Megleno-Rumanian.
