@Sile:
It's the first time i hear of a 'th' (unvoiced dental fricative) in Italian (or Gallo-Italian) dialects! Is this an individual trait (it occurs in every country for /s/), or a very collective dialectal trait?
For what I understood from Mihaitzateo and what I red in Wiki and language learning books, the S and Z of Romanian are not dental but alveolar fricatives as in French and English S and Z, so not loke Albanian TH and DH;
I am not in accord with you concerning the qualification of "branch of Italo-Celtic" concerning Illyrian (which?) and Thracian; it seems to me a bit hazardous, no offense.
But yes, here we are a bit far from the Germanic and Indo-Iranian groups.
Good evening all the way.
