Megleno-Romanian language
Megleno-Romanian is a Romance language, similar to
Macedo-Romanian, spoken in the Greek area of Meglen, roughly
north of Thessaloniki. It is considered an endagered language.
Some scholars consider Megleno-Romanian a dialect of the Aromanian language, while others consider it an independent language.
This language is closer to standard Romanian than the much larger minority speaking Macedo-Romanian variant of Aromanian in
Pindus, and some linguists consider it as an intermediary between the two.
While the evolution of the Aromanian language can be explained by the fact that the Aromanians were isolated from the other Romanians since the
9th century, it seems that the Megleno-Romanians left their linguistic union
with the Romanians at a much later time; one theory is that they were settled at sometime around the 14th century by the Byzantines. (disputed — see talk page)
