I vote yes.

No C? ;)
Actually, I think Jovian could very well serve as category C on its
own. Agreed, it is definitely a Western Romance language, although it
is different enough from all the others. Now that I think of it, it
could probably be listed as an isolate as well.
> II. Lessinu
I'm still not sure about Lessinu's qualification as an isolate. See
my other message. My assumption is that it could very well share a
common ancestor with Jelbazech, and that it has just change so
significantly because of its isolated position in German-speaking
territory. But, like I said, it's hard to say anything without Joe's
input.
> IV. South-Eastern Romance
> A. Central and southern Italian
> B. Jelbazech
> C. Dalmatian
> D. Rumanian
> V. North-Eastern Romance
> A. Wenedyk
> B. Slezan
> C. Slevan
I still get the feeling that Jelbazech's classification as
South-Eastern Romance is somewhat strange. From Dan's description,
Jelbazech and the Slavo-Romance language share pretty much,
historically.
Also, I very much doubt in how far Romanian/Dalmatian/Jelbazech?
would really be known as "South-Eastern" if Judajca and Baazramani
are also around.
> VI. Levantine
> A. Judajca
> B. Gallilean
> VII. Baazramani
Too many categories would make the scheme moot IMO. How about adding
Judajca (or rather, Levantine) to the same category that includes
Romanian?
Otherwise, excellent work!
