Which of these languages is the odd one out?

Although Romania borders Bulgaria, Ukraine and Serbia (see the picture) the Romanian language is quite unlike the languages of the other three countries. Bulgarian, Serbian and Ukrainian are all Slavic languages (the same broad language group as Russian). The Romanian language is based on Latin, as are Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. The clue is in the name. Romania was, in the distant past, part of a Roman province (Dacia) from where the Latin cultural connections are derived.

Romanian is one of the Romance languages that developed from Latin.

Romanian, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan and Galician are all based on Latin.

I was thinking Ukraine. It’s only one not on the Balkan Peninsula.

Corey Taylor

And the only one spoken in Eastern Europe since 'Dalmatian' was declared a dead language in the late 19th Century.

Robert Oldenburg, True; however, the question specified "languages" so location would not necessarily be a significant factor.

His question parameters are often set in the explanation.

I have to say the way this question was worded it confused me.

The question isn't very clear as to what "odd one out" means... geographically, language family, etc!! As it's written, there could be more than 1 correct answer 🙄
