Who speaks Romanian?
Romanian belongs to the Eastern Romance (Balkan Romance) subgroup of the Romance languages within the Indo-European language family. It ranks 49th among the most widely spoken languages in the world. Around 26 million people speak Romanian, including 20.5 million in Romania, 2.7 million in Moldova, 200,000 in Israel, 150,000 in Ukraine, and 100,000 in Serbia. There are also smaller communities of Romanian speakers in Australia, Azerbaijan, Canada, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Russia, and the United States.
Romanian is the official language of Romania, Moldova (where it is officially called Moldovan), and Vojvodina (an autonomous province in northern Serbia). It is also recognized as a minority language in Ukraine and Hungary and is one of the official languages of the European Union.
Romanian language – history
This language originates from the colloquial Latin spoken by the Daco-Romans who inhabited these lands in the 2nd century AD. Latin was superimposed on the Dacian language in the then Dacian territories. As a result of this linguistic fusion, Romanian gradually developed.
Note
The history of the Romanian language in the Middle Ages is poorly known and undocumented. The first document confirming the existence of this language dates back to the early 16th century (Neacșu’s letter from Câmpulung, 1521).
The fate of the Romanian language has been greatly influenced by neighboring Slavic peoples. It is estimated that initially up to 50% of words were borrowed from Slavic languages. In particular, Romanian owes much of its origins to Old Bulgarian. The strong influence of Slavic languages was justified not only by proximity but primarily by a shared religion, which was Orthodox Christianity, playing the leading cultural role at that time.
Since the 19th century, the Romanian language has undergone a process of re-Latinization. This involved removing non-Romance origin words and introducing words borrowed from other Romance languages, such as French and Italian.
In modern Romanian, only about 14% of words are of Slavic origin. Examples include “da” (yes), “duh” (spirit), and “nevastă” (wife). Currently, Romanian shares approximately 77% of its vocabulary with Italian and exhibits similar grammar, yet Romanian has a softer sound.
Useful information
Originally, the Romanian language was written in Cyrillic script (since the 16th century). Only in 1860 was the Latin alphabet officially adopted. Today, Cyrillic script is only used in Transnistria.
Romanian language doesn’t exhibit a significant variety of dialects. Its variants differ only phonetically. There are two main dialect groups: northern and southern. Some researchers consider Istro-Romanian, Aromanian, and Megleno-Romanian as dialects of the Romanian language.
Modern literature in Romanian was pioneered by Mihai Eminescu. Today, Romanian language is regulated by the Romanian Academy (Academia Română), headquartered in Bucharest.
Interesting facts about the Romanian language
- The longest word in the Romanian language is a 44-letter noun — “pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcaniconioză”, which means silicosis (a lung disease), a variant of pneumoconiosis.
- A very intriguing word is the noun “acioaiei” (Ukrainian amalgam). In this eight-letter word, there is only one consonant.
- Unlike other Romance languages, in Romanian, some articles are attached to the end of nouns (added as suffixes).
Romanian in business
Romanian is spoken in regions that are not popular business destinations. However, this language can be very useful for companies planning to expand their business in Romania, Moldova, or Serbia, but it does not play a significant role on the international stage.
