<delurks> Medolian is (I've lost my notes on it :o(, so that should be *was*) a Occitan-esque language. Also, here's an idea: rather than classifying the languages on geography or substrate, why don't we do it by genetic similarity (as is becoming common in*here's* romance linguistics)? For example, Catalan and Occitan are more closely related to each other than either is to Spanish or French. Ignoring the conlangs: ARCHAIC LATIN -CLASSICAL LATIN -PROTO-ROMANCE --Western Romance ---Gallo-Romance ----Langue d'Oil dialects (French, Picard, Normand, Wallon) ----Franco-Provencal Dialects (aka "Rhodanian", Savoyard etc.) ----Rhaeto-Romance languages (Friulian, Ladin, Romansch) ----Gallo-Italic Languages (Ligurian, Piemontese, Lombard, Veneto) ---Southern Gallo-Romance ----Occitan dialects (Provencal, Auvergnat, Gascon) ----Catalan dialects ---Ibero-Romance ----Mozarabic ----Castillian ----Portuguese-Galician --Eastern Romance ---Italo-Dalmatian ----Non-Padanian Italian Dialects (Sicilian, Tuscan, Neapolitan) ----Dalmatian (Vegliot, Ragusan) ---Proto-Romanian ----Romanian (and related dialects, eg: Aromanian) ********* ObIllBethisad: To which we could probably add the following branches: --British Romance ----Brithenig ----Kerno ----Brezhonecq ----Breathanach (? Possibly, the vocabulary is pretty much Classical Latin derived, maybe it's simply an archaic version of British Latin?) --Northern Romance ----Slezan ----Slvanjec ----Wenedyk Jelbazech forms its own subgrouping withing the Easten Romance branch -PROTO-SARDINIAN --Sardinian Dan
