Re: [romconlang] Corrected classification of Romance languages in Ill Bethisad

I was thinking that it might be possible to tie in Judajca to some European Romancelangs based on the original homeland of the Imperial colonists sent to settle Judea.

We have the Roman historians' testimony that the colonists
sent to Dacia were a random mix of people from all over
the empire, so that's likely for Judea too.

As for Baazramani it has an entirely different substrate and is
spoken miles and miles away from Judea viz. in Persia.

Naming of the major subgroupings: clearly Western, Central and
Eastern make more sense.  I'll change that.
