The Italo-Carune subfamily of the Ibero-Italic language family is the family that spawned, for example, Carune and Monzo.

Common Features of Italo-Carune Languages

The most notable feature of these languages is the retension of the neuter gender, lost in most other Romance languages.

Eastern Carune Languages

Mònzo and other central languages are, interestingly enough, more closely related to Spanish than Italian, Rumantsch, or the other languages in their vicinity. They lost the final -e's common in central verb infinitives, but gained a stress accent not found in the central languages.

Central Carune Languages

Carune and other eastern languages are, in contrast, much closer to Italian than the Iberian languages. They incorporate a large portion of vocabulary from Iberian languages, however.
