The article is wrong that all Romance languages lost the neuter. Romanian still has it.
Edit: I just had to read further :)
But I’m not convinced by the author’s argument that Romanian neuter is not a real gender.

- alexaholic 6y agoIn Latin, the neuter has a distinct form. In Romanian, it’s a combination: masculine in singular and feminine in plural. What the article does is it takes a look at these differences and merely states the obvious, that the Romanian neuter is ambigenous, thus the Latin neuter (as a third, distinct, form) didn’t make it.
