The purpose of this paper is to examine from the perspective of both internal evolution and contact-induced linguistic change a singular feature of Romance “velar palatalization” (VP) in Romanian, which in specialist literature has enjoyed little attention and received no consistent explication: the divergent outcomes [ʒ] and [ʤ] of lat. *[j]1-, *[d]j1, *[d g]j2 and *[g]e,i in southern Dacoromanian (and therefore in literary Romanian). In the theoretical framework of current models of language contact, the analysis will highlight in the emerging of this features the intertwining of internal developments and linguistic interference due to the Slavic-Romanian bilingualism. (Romanian VP is the result of a realtively late process of convergent “drift”, and as such it can be considered strictly speaking “independent” from similar phenomena attested in Western Romance Languages) and internal dialectal differentiation of Protoromanian (the southern Dacoromanian situation metioned above is the result of a Protoslavic interference in “central” Protoromanian) as well as to possible topics for further research.
