The Eastern Romance languages in their narrow conception, sometimes known as the Vlach languages, are a group of Romance languages that developed in Southeastern Europe from the local eastern variant of Vulgar Latin.

This article will be concerned with Eastern Romance in the narrow sense, without Italian.
