Can You Speak… Rotating Header Image

Ever wondered where Romanian came from?

Here’s an interesting article about the origins of the language. While it’s a little confusing with all the different cultures merging, I’ve put together a few interesting snippets for your reading pleasure:

  • It has its roots from 2000 years ago when the Dacians (pronounced dachyanz), of Indo-European stock, lived where Romania currently is.
  • It’s a Romance language (Eastern branch), spoken by 24 to 26 million people.
  • Romanian remains one of the most uniform languages in Europe, and developed isolated from the other Romance languages. Instead of Germanic influence, it took on words and features of Greek, Turkish and Hungarian.
  • It used to use a Cyrillic alphabet, but now uses a Romanian version of the Latin alphabet.
  • The spelling system is based on Italian, suggested by scholars because of the languages Latin roots. Source – The Sofia Echo
