Phonetic changes

Owing to its isolation from the other Romance languages, the phonetic evolution of Romanian was quite different, but the language does share a few changes with Italian, such as → (Lat. cl arus → Rom. chià r, Ital. chi aro, Lat. clamare → Rom. che mare, Ital. chia mare) and → (Lat. * gl acia (gl acies) → Rom. ghé ață, Ital. ghi accia, ghi accio, Lat. *un gl a (ungula) → Rom. un ghi e, Ital. un ghi a), although this did not go as far as it did in Italian with other similar clusters (Rom. plà ce, Ital. pi ace).

Another similarity with Italian is the change from or to or (Lat. pax, pa ce m → Rom. and Ital. pa ce, Lat. dul ce m → Rom. dul ce, Ital. dol ce, Lat. ci rcus → Rom. ce rc, Ital. ci rco) and or to or (Lat. ge lu → Rom. gè r, Ital. ge lo, Lat. mar gi nem → Rom. and Ital. mar gi ne, Lat. ge mere → Rom. gè m (ge mere), Ital. ge mere).

There are also a few changes shared with Dalmatian, such as /ɡn/ (probably phonetically) → (Lat. co gn atus → Rom. cu mn at, Dalm. co mn ut) and /ks/ → in some situations (Lat. coxa → Rom. có ps ă, Dalm. co ps a).

Among the notable phonetic changes are:

Romanian has entirely lost Latin /kw/ (qu), turning it either into /p/ (Lat. qu attuor → Rom. pàtru, "four"; cf. It. quattro) or /k/ (Lat. qu ando → Rom. când, "when"; Lat. qu ale → Rom. càre, "which").
