Learn how to speak Romanian
Romanian, "the Romanian
language", is a Romance language spoken by around 24-26
million people as a native language, primarily in Romania
and Moldova, and by another 4 million people as a second
language. It has official status in Romania and the Republic
of Moldova. It is one of the official languages of the
European Union.
Romanian is a part of the Balkan-Romance group that evolved
from several dialects of Vulgar Latin separated from the
Western Romance during the 5th–8th centuries. To distinguish
it within that group in comparative linguistics it is called
Daco-Romanian as opposed to its closest relatives, Aromanian,
Megleno-Romanian, and Istro-Romanian.
During Soviet times—and to some extent even today—Romanian
was called Moldovan in the Republic of Moldova, although the
Constitutional Court ruled in 2013 that "the official
language of the republic is Romanian".
Immigrant Romanian speakers are scattered across many other
countries, notably Australia, Italy, Spain, Ukraine,
Bulgaria, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Mexico,
Argentina, Greece, Turkey, Russia, Portugal, the United
Kingdom, Cyprus, France and Germany.
