Try and guess where this extinct romance language was spoken

Can you guess where this language was spoken? In that area today other languages definitively displaced it. This langauge evolved from vulgar latin, being spoken from the fall of the roman empire until the end of the 18th century in smaller and smaller numbers of native speakers. Last speaker died in 1900.

This is it. (Translation of the Pater noster prayer)

Tuota nuester, che te sante intel sil: sait santificuot el naun to. Vigna el raigno to. Sait fuot la voluntuot toa, coisa in in sil, coisa in tiara. Duota costa dai el pun nuester cotidiun. E remetiaj le nustre debete, coisa nojiltri remetiaime a i nuestri debetuar. E naun ne menur in tentatiaun, mui deliberiajne dal mal. Amen.

Let's go.

It's Dalmatian, isn't it?

Illyrian Latin

Illyrian's were saying Touta Puola and Ou Uo stuff.

Yes I think Dalmatian. The last guy speaking it died in an explosion or something

It's Dalmatian, interesting language, the word used for "father" is quite intereresting, it could be some Celtic or Germanic loanword.

Dalmatian : tuota
Romanian : tata
English : dad
Frisian : ate, aatj, taatje, tääte
Cimbrian : tatta
Welsh and Breton : tat
Irish : data

Same root appears in South Slavic languages

Croatian: tata
Bulgarian:tatka

Probably even as a cognate in Basque: (t)aita

Ah shit, I didn't see Croatia on the poll so I voted Macedonia only to realize that Croatia was just below Macedonia. I was guessing Dalmatian as well
