By admiting that Romanian is a latin speaking country it undermines their claims to Romanian lands... purely political. The obvious truth hurts them because it shows that Romania can to the very least trace its ancestry to the Roman Empire which is way longer than they can trace their history in Europe.

[@VictorGrigor-n7n]

@@sierraleonediamondexplorat2080 The name ROMANIA dates back to the 3rd-4th century and referred to the entire territory under Roman rule, from Atlantic to Egypt and Syria. The language spoken in the Roman Empire was called LINGUA ROMANA ( „romaica” in greek). Today, Ibero-Romance, Gallo-Romance and Italo-Romance have lost both their name Roman and the name of the language they speak. Only Romanians and Reto-Romance have preserved their name. The medieval name ( endonyme) of Walachia was„ Țara Rumânească”, meaning TERRA ROMANA.In the 19th century, „România”, the etymological form with O instead of U, was imposed. So, it is not fair to accuse others of doing what you were not able to do! The Romanians have no fault that the Portuguese, the Spanish, the French or the Italians preferred to derive their ethnic name from the name of a Roman province or from the name of the barbarian people who conquered them.

Romanian language belogs to the romanic family.Daco-romanian, protoromanin until ~13-th century was a version of vulgate latin. Then slavic influence occured. Still remain latin in gramatics and vocabulary as it is proved by a letter written in year 1521 by a men from Campulung (Valahia) to the mayer (burgermaister) of Brasov (Kronstadt in Transilvania). In this letter the name of Romania is present in the form "tzeara romaneasca" (terra romanorum-like). The proportion of slav versus latin originated words in this letter are the same as today ~15 %. The Biblia Sacra Valahica (1688) also certify this fact.. The romanian language is not an artificial language. It is a genuine romanic one.

One thing people like you don't bring up that pretend being well informed about Romanian history is that how Romanian even ended up using the Cyrillic alphabet which the Romanian Voievode and great Scholar Dimitrie Cantemir of Moldavia called "Barbaric". Its very simple, during the rule of Alexander the Great of Moldavia they enforced the Cyrillic alphabet on the Romanian language because of religious problems concerning around on Papal conversion of the people in the Principalities. Changing the alphabet to Cyrillic was a harder way for translation, so Alexander ordered for ALL Romanian literature written in Latin alphabet to be burned and replaced with Cyrillic.

And they did. ✅ So Romanian is an artificially created language. ✅ Many linguists believe that the pre-19th century Romanian language was basically Slavic, only subjected to Latin influence. ✅ Maybe that’s why other Romance peoples often say that Romanian sounds like a Bulgarian or Russian person tries to speak Italian.

Romanian is like Russian if it had almost all its natural Slavic vocabulary removed, then replaced it with the French and Latin loanwords and stopped using the Cyrillic and switched to the Latin script some 150 years ago. How Romanian is considered a real Romance language is beyond me.

[@norielgames4765]

​@@zephyros3039as a Romanian, yes. I think we lost a lot of our heritage when we did that. On the other hand we also gained a lot. Also, English is widely, almost universally considered a Germanic language despite more than 60% of their words being Romance or Latin in origin. That's because at its core, and in its origin, the English language has always been a Germanic one, and no amount of loanwords will change that. One of the worst things to ever happen to Romanian as a language in my opinion is how the people who butchered our old language and created the new one actually discarded countless of actual Romance words because they didn't sound "romance enough" and instead replaced them with Latin and French words. Like, mate, I get it you wanna be more of a romance language but don't throw out perfectly good romance words. Our actual Romanian phonetics evolved separately from those of western romance languages. They were more influenced by Germanic languages whereas we were more influenced by Slavic and Greek phonetics. So our words didn't sound super romance, kinda like how French words sound really different from the rest of Romance languages cause they evolved their own phonetics. In older Romanian, April was Priar, which actually came from Latin Aprilis, and now we say Aprilie cause I guess Priar didn't sound Latin enough. When you look at actual Romanian words that we have had from latin to this day, we have ziua (meaning day) pământ (meaning ground, or Earth), which come from Latin Dies and Pavimentum. In Spanish those are Día and Pavimento. As you can see, changes in phonetics. Then you suddenly get Februarie, supra, înțelegere, which are pretty much just carbon copies of Latin Frebuar, supra and intellegere. And thus we have a language that is a mish mash of other languages, which wouldn't be so bad if we didn't just throw our other existing words into the shadow realm. I'm all for enriching our language, just don't make it poorer.

translating another comment so more people can understand while "feira" does mean "fair" in portuguese, the "feira" in the names of the days comes from "feria", which meant a free day, as in a holiday or vacation. It's the origin of "férias" in modern portuguese which literally means vacation

Both Romanian and Latin are born from an older, ancient language, Vulgar Latin, spoken by the people and are parallel developments of it. In the opinion of Miceal Ledwith - former advisor to Pope John Paul II, the Romanian language is closer to that ancient language than Latin, that is, a more authentic continuation of the ancient language spoken in antiquity. Romania is the ancient Dacia . 3000 years . The Cult Latin is a language processed and created for the Catholic aristocracy and administration. Romans also spoke Vulgar Latin. The thesis that the Romance languages and the Latin language are languages born from a common ancient language is shared by more and more foreign and Romanian linguists, as is the case of the Spanish linguist Carme Huertas, who also published in Romania the book "We do not come from Latina" .'', bringing solid arguments proving that no Romance language derives from Latin, the Latin being a cousin of the Romance languages and NOT THEIR MOTHER!!! And authors from France say the same thing.( French author Yves Cortez who claims that French is not derived from Latin. The Romance languages and Latin developed in parallel from the vulgar Latin spoken in ancient Europe.) The 19th century theory of the MAMA Latin language is no longer supported. In the 21st century, new discoveries and new linguistic research.

[@jonarthritiskwanhc]

Do you realize 're-latinization' also occurred in other Romance languages? All major Romance languages have many words from Medieval Latin, which were borrowed or 're-invented' during the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods. This is no different from Romanian. In fact, standard Italian is 'highly engineered' and wasn't popularly spoken until the last century. Besides, many regional Romance languages have borrowings from major Romance languages, especially those in Italy. For example, despite being the most conservative Romance language, Sardinian has many Spanish and Italian loanwords. By your logic, does that mean all Romance languages are 'artificial' and 're-invented'?

My friend, I want to tell you very frankly that you have an extremely serious problem, a total linguistic and geographical confusion. 1. Romania at its origins, is the geographical place where the Geto-Dacians lived and united with the Romanians, close to the ancient Thracians who lived in the place of today's Bulgaria. 2. In the 9th century, when the Slavs and Hungarians came, this Eastern Romanic block was broken, the Vlachs from the Balkan Peninsula and the Romanians with Slavic influences north of the Danube were born. 3. The language, as a base, is 80% Vulgar Latin, over which Ottoman, Slavic, Hungarian, German influences are added. 4. Romanian DNA, to be honest, has a large part of Slavic DNA, that's true, but that doesn't make them less Latin. Before you comment, make sure that you are linguists, that you have specialized studies and that you are not just looking at Wikipedia or other propaganda sites.
