In this video I explore the lost Romance language that once filled the strange gap between modern Latin-based countries like Italy and Romania. Ever wondered why Romania speaks a Romance language while being surrounded by Slavic nations? Turns out, languages like Dalmatian used to bridge the gap, as did Mozarabic in the Iberian Peninsula; until history wiped them out. We’ll dive into how the Roman Empire, Vulgar Latin, Slavic migrations, and Muslim Spain shaped Europe’s linguistic map, and why these forgotten tongues disappeared.
