strong contradiction i came here from the article italian language this is the sentence i was reading standard italian is somewhat intermediate between the italo dalmatian languages of the south and the gallo romance northern italian languages the link italo dalmatian languages send me here in this articol i learn that italo western languages are all romamces languages except romanian and sardinian but i was reading italo dalmatian languages of the south ern italy since i thought southern italian are eastern like extint dalmatian in the chart one more version dalmatian east and italian dialect west it's crazy this confusing classification seems it would not say the truth north italian west strictly relative with french occitan and catalan this is an evidence and south italian east with no strict relatives thanks for all
