Aromanian (Armãneascã) is a Romance language spoken in the southern Balkans by Aromanians, part of the group of Eastern Romance languages.
Aromanian is considered by most linguists to be a separate language from Daco-Romanian (commonly referred to as Romanian), Megleno-Romanian, and Istro-Romanian, although some consider it a dialect of Romanian.
