ABSTRACT
Of the four living varieties of Balkan or Southeast European Romance Daco-Romanian, Aromanian,
Megleno-Romanian and Istro-Romanian only Daco-Romanian has been able to form a national language.
Despite a written tradition dating back to the 18th century, most Aromanians today do not write their
language. Due to the smaller number of speakers, the situation of Megleno-Romanian and Istro-Romanian is
even more difficult. According to UNESCO (1999), (Daco-)Romanian is classified as not endangered,
Aromanian as endangered and Istro- and Megleno-Romanian as seriously endangered. The paper analyzes the
impact of the following factors on Aromanian preservation: lifestyle and patterns of settlement, intensity of the
contact, religion, linguistic prestige, code function of minority languages, and economic dependencies.
