Carpathian is classified as an independent branch of the Indo-European languages, although it shares many common features with the Balto-Slavic languages. Some linguists tentatively conclude that Carpathian was dialectally close to that subbranch and connect it to the [[w:Paleo-Balkan languages|extinct languages]] of the Balkans, [[w:Dacian language|Dacian]] in particular. It is of interest to linguists for its distinctive phonological conservatism among modern Indo-European languages. Just as the Balto-Slavic languages, Carpathian exhibits [[w:Centum and satem languages|satemization]] (''śum̃ta'' “hundred” from Proto-Indo-European ''*ḱm̥tóm''), although some words developed as in the centum languages, such as ''gansìs'' “goose” from *ǵʰh₂éns (same as Slavic *gǫ̑sь). | Carpathian is classified as an independent branch of the Indo-European languages, although it shares many common features with the Balto-Slavic languages.
