Sorry about forgeting Jelbazech!

I also forgot to include Sardinian, which I suppose exists

Not in the least surprisingly, you also collectively
ignored Jovian*.  Déi ed dsauvuls!


Sorry!  The way Romance is proliferating in IB it is
really hard to keep track of what's in and what's not!


 Admittedly, it's a
bit hard to categorize, with its close ties to Classical Latin and its unparalleled sound changes. Maybe it should be a category of its own. How about 
"High Romance", or "One True Romance"?  ;o)


With lenition and everything I'd say Jovian is clearly
Western.  I've added it as a fifth major subgroup of
Western and hopefully also corrected the numbering by
the time you see this.  I have now entered the list in
the IB wiki under "Romance Languages" -- and I see that
Marc Pasquin has added Laurentien as a separate Gallo-
Romance language as well.

Don't worry.  Even India is still there!  Nobody seems
to have noticed the pompous ceremony when Circars became
Kalinga however...
