Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. I created this for educational purposes to spread awareness that we are diverse as a planet.

Special Thanks to Ivan :D

ISTRO-ROMANIAN
Native to: Croatia
Region: Istria
Ethnicity: Istro-Romanians
Native speakers: 300 (2007)
L2 speakers:: 1,100 (2007)
Language family: Indo-European (Romance)

is a Balkan Romance language, spoken in a few villages and hamlets in the peninsula of Istria in Croatia, as well as in diaspora, most notably in Italy, Sweden, Germany, Northern and Southern America, and Australia.[citation needed]

While its speakers call themselves Rumeri, Rumeni, they are also known as Vlachs, Rumunski, Ćići and Ćiribiri. The last one, used by ethnic Croats, originated as a disparaging nickname for the language, rather than its speakers.

Due to the fact that its speakers are estimated to be less than 500, it is listed among languages that are "seriously endangered" in the UNESCO Red Book of Endangered Languages.

It is also considered by some Romanian scholars to be an idiosyncratic offshoot dialect of Romanian.
