Are Romanians the Last Real Descendants of the Roman Empire in the Balkans?

- Many historians apposite that the modern Romanians (and Moldovans) are the last remaining descendants of the Romans in the Balkan Peninsula and Eastern Europe, and today we're going to look at the origin and history of the Romanian people and their relation to other Italic-peoples in the Balkan peninsula today.
Be sure to let me know your thoughts on Romanian and Moldovan history, and the prospects of a Romania-Moldovia unification. No offense is meant by stating that Moldova is the poorest country in Europe, I have many Moldovan/Romanian friends and they told me about the hardships they had to endure.
Thanks for watching!

the official language in Republic of Moldova is Romanian language ! There is no such a language as Moldovian !!!! it was invented by USSR to divide the territory AND THE PEOPLE that they occupied !!! Trust me i'm Moldovian and know it from inside !

@@catalannationalist9847 Because Russian don't agree
I am a Spanish speaker, I used to play football with Romanians and I was surprised that I could understand almost 85% of what they were talking about. Later I didn't have a problem in conversing with them. They were very friendly and nice.
spanish people have romanian dna
The two Roman Legions that 'conquered' Dacia were formed from men that came the Iberic Peninsula, not to mention tha the Emperor Traian akso came from there being adopted by a Roman general.
I believe Catalan is closer to Romanian language than Castilian, both in pronunciation and topic of words in the sentence.
latin languages. as a romanian i can understand almost 80-90% of what an italian is saying
I wouldn't venture to 80% but if the Italian speaks slower and correctly and uses simpler, shorter sentences there should be no problem in understanding him.

A Romanian friend I work with took me and another guy from work to stay with some of his friends in Bucharest and then some family in Constanța. I was completely bowled over with the people and how warm-hearted and generous they were. I have travelled a lot and they were certainly some of the kindest people I ever met. I have started to learn Romanian now (am început să învăț limba română!!) and we're going back next May to visit Cluj. Can't wait. Abia aștept!
By the way, no doubt somebody has already mentioned it but I'll do it again. The official language of Moldova is now called Romanian and it certainly is NOT written in the Cyrillic alphabet anymore. Your info on that is out of date.
BazaB. You have alot to see. You should go to Sinaia, Brașov, Timișoara, Craiova, Transfăgărășan, Cheile Bicazului, Cascada Bigăr etc.
@BazaB Prietene, if I'm still here in May, I'll be happy to show you around Cluj. You picked a great city to see and a great month to visit it in.
Where are you come from?
Wow, you are such a kind person :)
WOW nice work learning romanian....keep it up!
My second language is Portuguese, and I was pleasantly surprised with how much Romanian I could understand when I visited a few years ago. I certainly couldn’t understand everything, but many times I was able to get the idea. And Romanian people are so friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to go back!
Greetings cousin. Romanian language is 79.8% Latin
Cool story, bro.
If you are a Portuguese then you must know the Greek too because Portuguese people migrated from Greece only in the span of it's entire history

Same with me as being Romanian and having Brazilian friends.
When Pavarotti performed in Bucharest in the 90s, he spoke in Italian and the crowds understood everything he said and sang. And were laughing to his jokes too. How cool is that?!
that just shows how truly similar the romance languages are to each other.the only real difference is just slight modifications.
@Rubens Toledo yo también, no puedo entender mucho el rumano hablado pero escrito parece italiano y entiendo el 80%
Even casually, a romanian can understand about 66% of a spoken italian, and around 75% of a written italian. That says smth
@@echoes5476 Me too, I cannot understand much if what the romanians write but I understand italian 80%.
In romanian: "Nici eu, nu pot (no puedo) intelege mult din ce e scris in romana (escrito = ce e scris) dar inteleg intaliana 80%"
Curious if I am right (Romanian here) in my english translation of your words.

Thank you! I actually have a lot of Romanian/Moldovan friends here in Dallas, really great people.
Why would Moldovans not want to be a part of Romania? That makes no sense?
Please don't say "Moldovan" . They are Romanians, as I live in Dobruja (a Romanian Province), I can be called "Dobrujan" , but I am ROMANIAN. As Moldavians are Romanians too . :)
Well, I tell you. that part of Moldavia was annexed by Russian Empire in 1812. And the other part with Wallachia formed Romania. The GREAT ROMANIA was established in 1918 when Transylvania and the other part of Moldova (Today's Rep of Moldova) united with Romania. After WW2 we lost Moldova to Russians again. They deported a lot of Romanians, trying to call them "Moldovans" to be different from us, they imposed a different alphabet , and they influenced their minds. Some of them who read and learn, know that they are Romanians and are our brothers. But other half of them are indoctrinated , even if we are speaking the same language :)) . They think they are not part of this country. So yeah ..
+Beefstain One reason : Russia.
Some people fear a Russian permanent annexation of Transnistria, but this has already happened however.
Others are totally brainwashed by Russian state media.

It would have been interesting.

Stigmatum How i see you visited transilvania not romania ;)))
Laszlo, what do you mean by they "not have even the elemental Human Rights"? Do not just throw out big words. I agree Hungarians in Romania are not satisfied with their rights, but on the other hand:
They have several political parties, one of which was part of several governments. They've actually been part of the government for approx. 16 years (out of 27 since the revolution from 1989) and for another 4 their MPs offered support in parlament to the government (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Alliance_of_Hungarians_in_Romania + a more clear table: ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniunea_Democrat%C4%83_Maghiar%C4%83_din_Rom%C3%A2nia))
They have state funded and private schools and universities. Moreover, given the fact that some of them do not even speak Romanian is proof to the fact that they can live pretty well without even knowing the official language of the country. They are helped by the fact that all public authorities (courts of law included) are bound to provide translators. So if you are part of a historic ethnic grup you can live in Romania without even speaking the Romanian language. They are not satisfied with this, they would rather have the oficial acts concluded in their own language, ignoring the fact that not all public clerks know Hungarian and knowledge of a foreign language may not be a condition to work in public administration.
In terms of local autonomy, all towns and villages approve their own budges and may use a rather high percentage of the taxes they collect for their own projects. So, to sum up, they have schools at all levels and of all types, they have their own budgets, they receive as much money as any other town, they are free to travel and works anywhere in Romania and in the EU. They may even complain to European Court of Human Rights. Are you aware of any decision of ECHR against Romania establishing that ethnic minorities human rights are not observed?
If only, their leaders would had more diplomacy they could gain so much more.
Please, give an example of a country in Europe where a political party is banned.
State funded university for hungarians? Please give an example. Oh, you mean Bolyai in Kolozsvár (architects were Ignác Alpár, Károly Meixner, Károly Reményik). That was established following the XIXth act of 1872. october 14 codified by the royal hungarian parlamient and financed it. Where were the romanians? They appeared only when it had been renamed to a romanian doctor named Babes..Of course all the professors, officers in civil service had to attest on bigromania after 1920.. If they did not they had to leave THEIR HOMELAND. You know, in the 20's there was saying about Hungary is a land of 2m beggars.. These 2m beggars were all refugees from formerly Northern, Eastern, Southern Hungary...highly educated personals, officers, aristocrats, peasants.
But of course it is the past blabla.. In the paradise of human rights (you think this is romania), please give me an example where a pure hungarian-controlled university or college exists.. 2017. 06. 01. Marosvásárhely (Tirgu Mures) mayor ordered to remove the street signs (with two languages: one romanian the other hungarian) placed by human rights activists. etc,etc,etc
My question is: Szeklerland where hungarians/szeklers are about 80% among local populations should talk romanian? Even they are not romanians? Why? So in the past the Kingdom of Hungary should have forced the the romanians (moți) in Middle Transsyilvania to speak hungarian? Even they did not paid any taxes because they lived in the high mountains contrary to the hungarians who lived in the valleys..
magyars are recorded in some korean chronicle for their raiding and pillaging in the northern parts of what was back then Korea
on the other side of the continent, dacians defeated romans multiple times
im sure there is an explanation for this :D :D :D :D
Romanian here. You made a mistake. Moldovans don't use the Cyrillic alphabet. They use the same Latin one. The only real difference is that they don't have the letter â. Just î. Same sound, different letters. Don't ask why, it's complicated. The only ones that still write Romanian in Cyrillic are the ones from Transnistria, a small Eastern part of Moldova. Again, don't ask why. Complicated.
Actually, Moldova (or let's just say Bessarabia) has plenty of reasons to consider itself separate from the rest of Romania. It was administered by the Russian Empire from 1812 until 1919, when it was ceded to Romania, which lost it again first in 1940 and then in 1944.

Respect de pe partea de sud a Prutului!
I’m from Moldova, and Romanian was written in Cyrillic only while it was a part of Soviet Union... and since it collapsed we started to write using Latin alphabet
Alfabetul chirilic a fost inventat de doi calugari greci probabil (CHIRIL si Metodiu), la ordinul Vaticanului, pentru a slaviza Balkanii si controla slavii prin religie. Slavio nu aveau nici alfabet, nici religie, nici paleo cultura. Pentru a fi confirmati drept lideri, tarii din balkani, (care vorbeau o limba romanica atunci, si multi din descendentii lor si astazi), erau obligati sa-si slavizeze populatia.
@Val Coteanu Care e scopul acestui comentariu? Cu ce nu ești de acord?

@@ruru_bckwrds8737 Other mysterious places you might want to see are: Padurea Hoia Baciu (the haunted forest near Cluj, Poenari Castle (the real castle of Vlad Tepes/The Impaler north of Curtea de Arges and West of Campulung, it's said to be haunted by the ghost of his wife), Ramnicu Sarat and Focsani (due to them being connected through underground tunnels which were rumored to reach form Suceava to Tirgoviste), Memorial to the Victims of Communism and of the Resistance in Sighetu Marmaritei. Some very interesting Monasteries are Voronet (the only church for a long time/ or still is to depict the fall of Constantinopole on an icon, and it's one of those Painted Monasteries) and Dealu Monastery (in which you can find the Head of Michael the Brave, the first person to unite the three principalities under his direct rule (Stephen Bathory did this through making him and the ruler of Moldavia his vassals).

@@tonymontana9754 we have nothing to do with latins. Just our language is latin. Our culture and everything about us is balkan/slavic.
@@Denis-ed3cm Nonsense , exaggeration. Balkan also means Greek, Albanian, Turkish, not only Slavic. Do you think that the Portuguese or the French have more in common with Italians than language? Do you think that Germanic speaking countries are all genetically identical and they all have the same culture ?! Be sure that there are differences between all peoples, not only between Romanians and other Latins.
Genetically speaking Southern Italians and most Spaniards are the most closely related. Also being the most closely related to the ancient Romans. With some genetics shared also with Portugal and Southern France. Romina has less genetic similarities with us but does still have a little.
Moldovians use the latin alphabet not the cyrilic one, the main distinction between Romanian romanian and Moldovian romanian is that we in Moldova borrowed more russian words in day to day conversations, but the official romanian taught in schools and used in television and media is pretty much the same as in Romania, except some regional terms

General Bandholtz’s daily contact with the Romanian military and diplomatic personnel for these six months gave him a unique learning experience. He made no
secret about his conclusions. On November 11, 1919, he wrote in his Diary: “It is
simply impossible to conceive such national depravity as those miserable “Latins” of Southeast Europe are displaying”.
Having spent six months in Hungary, General Bandholtz [was America’s representative to the
Inter-Allied Supreme Command’s Military Mission in Hungary at the end of World War I] was impressed by the
Hungarians. Before his departure he concluded in his Diary:
“Personally I came here rather inclined to condone or extenuate much of the Roumanian procedure, but their outrageous conduct in violation of all international law, decency, and humane considerations, has made me become an
advocate of the Hungarian cause. Turning over portions of Hungary with its civilized and refined population will be like turning over Texas and California to the Mexicans. The great Powers of the Allies should hang their heads in shame for what they allowed to take place in this country after an armistice. It would be just as sensible to insist also that Switzerland, on account of her mixed French, German, and Italian population, be subdivided into three
states, as to insist upon the illogical ethnographic subdivision and distribution of the territory and people of old Hungary. It is simply another case of the application of long-range theory as against actual conditions.
The Hungarians certainly have many defects, at least from an American point of view, but they are so far superior to any of their neighbors that it is a crime against civilization to continue with the proposed dismemberment of this country.”🇭🇺✌🏻...
Ezt Harry Hill Bandholtz amerikai tábornok mondta, aki a Magyarországra küldött Szövetséges Katonai Misszió tagja volt.
"Miközben valamennyien örülünk, hogy hazafelé indulunk, mégis némileg sajnáljuk, hogy el kell hagynunk Magyarországot. Jómagam úgy jöttem ide, hogy nagy részben elnézem és nem tulajdonítok különösebb jelentőséget a román eljárásmódnak, de fölháborító magatartásuk révén, amely sértette a nemzetközi jogot, a tisztességet és minden emberiességi megfontolást, a magyar ügy támogatójává váltam. Átadni Magyarország területének egyes részeit, a civilizált és kifinomult lakosságot alkotó emberekkel, olyan dolog, mintha Texast és Kaliforniát adnánk át a mexikóiaknak. Szégyelljék magukat a Szövetséges Nagyhatalmak mindazért, amit a fegyverszünet után ebben az országban megengedtek...
A magyaroknak bizonyosan sok hiányosságuk van, legalábbis amerikai szemszögből nézve, de annyira fölötte állnak bármelyik szomszédjuknak, hogy a civilizáció elleni bűntett volna az ország tervezett felosztásának megvalósítása."...

As an adult, as soon as I heard Romanians speak, heard them sing*, laugh, be passionate in general, I felt some type of automatic affinity to Romanians. They are very latin indeed. The current world view regarding them, and many other countries or people is very inaccurate. Even when a person is informed on all things Romanian, they still follow some mainstream subconscious inaccurate view about them. They are so undervalued and underestimated and MISS-BRANDED. If I had to quickly explain to someone what they are MORE "like" I would just say Italian. Which would be better then the typical "oh, I thought more like Russian or Eastern Europe". BUT They have their complete own identity apart from Italians, maybe one day that will be know throughout the western world. From a French person. Vive la Roumanie! PS.

Moldova-Romania is the most likely country merger to happen anywhere in the world. I'm not saying it's likely, but it's more likely than any other combination of countries merging.
Moldovan politicians are too corrupt to let Rep. of Moldova slide from their mafiot tentacles.
If the union will happen, it will be with russian agreement, they have soldiers deployed in Transnistria and an even greater army in Crimea ready for action if something happens without their knowledge.
The first union between Wallachia and Moldova that formed Small Romania was under a moldovan leader (A.I.Cuza), with different elections in both countries being won by the same man. It was a bold act from two small and corrupt regions - two bad things can create a good thing after all :)

I am from Moldova and the Cyrillic alphabet is NOT used! It is used in Transnistria. Moldovan used to be written in Cyrillic during the Soviet era but in 1990 the alphabet got switched. Basically only people that grew in the USSR call the language Moldovan. In school curriculum it is called Romanian.

Moldavian language does not exist. It is only a Russian propaganda. As an Moldavian from the Romanian part that's stupid to say. Actually there is no difference the Chirilic alphabet was used before the latin one was invented in the 19th century because in the evolution by Alexandru Ioan Cuza's reform the one who realised the small union of Tara Romaneasca ( Wallachia ) and Moldova placed a series of reforms in which modernized and help place the country on its feet later to be exiled by the great powers and corrupt politicians. If you listen Moldavian or Romanian from Moldova the only difference is the accent it's like bringing together one from Texas and 1 from New Jersey or New york you'll see a differnce in the accent but it's still Romanian. Also the Chirilic alphabet is in the past Moldova is using the latin / if they speak or write in slavic they speak Russian or write russian due to being forced to do so.
Yea, but it is hard to prove the obvious. One who speaks Romanian notices immediately there's no difference between Romanian and "Moldovan" language, not even a mildly dialectal one.
By the way, this is another infuriating topic for Hungarians and others who promote division of Romania and between Romanians, the Romanian language manifests a formidable unity regardless the region. This stems from an obvious strong and permanent relation between Romanian population groups across history which proves continuity as a single ethnic group. Of course, while some standardization comes with the modern era, the small local differences are so minor compared with other romance languages that it is clear there was no top down interference. This is not the case with French or Italian, even if those countries had a greater literacy rate and centuries of literary prowess.
Of course I don't know the difference between english accents of northern America, but I witnessed how last pro-Romanian rally in Chisinau gathered up to 4000 people only.
With no Russian propaganda by the way. Only high-grade western media.
Well, at least you acknowledge Americans speak English, it's a start.
So... these aren't "pro-Romanian" rallies, there's no competition with your Russia, Rep. of Moldova is Romanian land. The only uncertainty is about how long it will take before it is reincorporated into Romanian state. A state which is not perfect, not by far, but it's the Romanian nation's state and it doesn't make sense to have two of them in the long run. Politics and economy matter but ultimately common nationhood and culture will trump, he, he, every other criteria. Even if it pisses some greatly.
I am not Romanian speaking, so I cannot impose my opinion to Moldovans how they should call their language, they can call it whatever they want. Even though I have my solid view on that.
I also have no objection against unification, but only if there will be democratic expression of will of all ethnic minorities. The only thing which is embarassing me is that unionism is anchored on extreme rusophobia. This makes the idea unacceptable at least for a half of the population of MD.
Not at all. The language is called as it is. English is English in Australia, Canada, South Africa, United States and so on. Even in Great Britain, go figure! French is French all over the world. Spanish likewise. Of course, you can, if you want, distinguish between Australian English and Oxford English, but this doesn't change the fact you refer to the same language and that is English. Furthermore, even with languages where strong dialects are present, the language name remains the same. Inventing then imposing, as it was the case in Rep. Moldova, as a political diktat, a "new" language (in order to invent a "new" nation) has nothing to do with linguistics or free will, it's simply rape. Even more grotesque so as the language spoken in Rep. Moldova is identically the same, no dialectal differences, with the language spoken by the Romanians in other Romanian provinces. Nobody forbids someone to identify himself by his region/province or city or even neighbourhood, but this doesn't change a bit the reality, identity, common and scientific acceptance of the language he speaks. And, all in all, this discussion turns into absurdity. If you don't accept, when the sun is up in the sky, to call the day a day it's your problem.
Minorities have the right to exist and express themselves but don't have the right to carve up the territory of the country the ethnic majority resides. Even less so after that territory was occupied by force by a foreign power who forced massive displacement of the native population and colonization with foreigners.
There's no Russianphobia, at least not more than Romanianphobia from the Russian side. "Russian speaking" minority - here the Ukrainian ethnic minority is thrown in when it suits the Russian imperialism - exists and counts less than a third of the population and it's naturally decreasing since some of them were simply bureaucrats with no ties to the region and once the empire was gone and they got old their numbers began to dwindle. There's no half, not even a third, including the Ukrainians, based on ethnicity.
As for how spread is the desire for political reintegration to Romania (there is going to be no union/federation in the sense of, for example, a Belgium) that's a different topic. First, let me clarify for possible "third party" readers: the territory called today Rep. of Moldova was taken by the Russian empire in 1812 from then principality of Moldova, vassal state to the Ottoman empire. It comprises, roughly, the land between the Prut and Nistru river (Dniestr in the Russian variant). Short cutting history, it reverted to the (then) kingdom of Romania [state formed starting with 1859 through unification of 2 principalities inhabited by Romanians - Moldova and Wallachia

Great history! For those who are based in Europe, you probably remember O-Zone. This Moldovan band had a huge summer hit in 2004 called ‘Dragostea din tei’ (which is written in Romanian). The video clip of that song was unforgettable (the band members were dancing on top of a flying airplane). 😂
well Moldova already did a law when they changed the official language name to Romanian and they are using Latin script, the Cyrillic is used for Moldovan in the breakaway country of Transnistria.
Simi822 i read somewhere they tried to do the same in Russia.
There were projects in early USSR years to switch all of its languages to the Latin script uncluding Russian. Some of them were implemented for quite a while. But then they were all standardized in the Cyrillic script. Same happened to Mongolian, by the way.
Tatars, though, tried to change to Latin in 90s and early 2000s. The federal government wasn't happy. Tatars made a step back and mow they might use both scrpits while Cyrillic remains as the main script.
Yeah, Mason probably read some outdated info or just confused this Moldova with Transnistria. The official name for the language used in Moldova is now Romanian (much like it is German for Austria rather than "Austrian") and it's been continuously written in the Latin script ever since the 1990s. Save for, of course, Transnistria which speaks mostly Russian anyway.
Transninstria should become autonomous region of Ukraine while the rest of Moldova should be annexed by Romania, problem solved.
Please abstain from using the term ”annexation” as it implies ”being taken by force”. Whereas we are longing for a ”re-unification”. That is the 3rd and last one.
Yeahhhh NO, there are no moldovans they are Romanians and they need to unite with Patria Mamă 🇷🇴💪
Need to implies a kind of forcing. You know, let the choice to the people of Moldova. I'm not against the idea, but it has to be a choice made by the public in Moldova without pressure from outside.
@@dorinpopa6962 Need is not have to. Actually Moldova might need to reintegrate into the Romanian state, it looks, at least, a safer place to be inside NATO than at the edge of a no man's land.
❤️❤️❤️
I don't see that they do. I am slowly getting to the point where I don't feel like we should unite with Moldova. Why all the fuss? We prostrate ourselves before them and they spit in our faces, time and time again.
Ce nu ați înțeles voi, este faptul că Moldova nu vrea să se unească cu România . Ei sunt pro ruși până în măduva oaselor.
As a geography and linguistics nerd, I've been wondering how Romania all the way in Eastern Europe has a Latin language. Thanks for the video!
We got many words from slavic languages, turkish and some greek but over 60% of our language has latin roots.
@@IFARTED09 Over 75% is Latin not 60%. Educate yourself!
Romanian language was relatinized in the 19 century. Before that they use cirillic alphabet, and speak a greco-slavic language with minor latin influence.
@@m.dewylde5287 The german and slave grammar almost same as latin grammar.
@@claudiu8426 how over 75% is not over 60%
Since the Ukraine invasion I have been trying to learn as much about nearby countries as possible. Thank you for this. Very informative.
Read a buncha comments and I came to the conclusion that my citizenship is in heaven! May the Lord bless all Romanians ❤️
Philippians 3:20-21 "20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body." Blessings in Jesus, Amen!
Great video. Being British I've been able to have a lot of Romanian friends over the years and they always swore to me that they have a rich and diverse heritage. The more I casually learn about their society over the years the more I understand this. Thanks for the info.
>>Colin McEvedy angol földrajz- és történelemtudós szavai: “A modern Romániában lakó, a latin leánynyelvén beszélő havasföldiek (Wallachians) és moldvaiak (Moldavians) először a 14. században említtetnek. Későbbi állításuk, hogy a Kr.u.a 2. században odatelepített rómaiak utódai, célzatosnak és kevéssé hihetőnek látszik. Ugyanis, a rómaiaknak Románia földjéről (270-ben) történt visszavonulását és az oláh (Vlach) államok megjelenését évezred választja el, amelynek során e föld szláv és nomád népek birtokát képezte, és amelyből teljesen hiányzik a római továbbélés bizonyítéka. Szinte bizonyos, hogy az oláhok a Balkán nyugati részéről származtak.”
McEvedy szavait illően erősíti Pierre George és Jean Tricart francia történészek műve: L’Europe Centrale - Geographie Physique et Humaine /Közép-Európa természeti és népességi földrajza (a 11. században).
Colin McEvedy, British
geographer and historian: "The Latin speaking Wallachians and Moldavians, inhabiting modern Rumania, are first mentioned at the beginning of the 14th century. Their later claim to be descendants of the Roman colonists planted there in the 2nd
century AD., seems tendentious and improbable, for the Romans' withdrawal
from [modern] Rumania ([in] 270) and the appearance of the Vlach states are separated by a millennium in which the country was the property of Slav and nomad and which is devoid of all evidence of Roman survival. Almost certainly the Vlachs came from the western Balkans."
These words are aptly corroborated by the French historians Pierre George and Jean Tricart in their book: L’Europe Centrale: - Peuples de I’Europe centrale au XIe siicle)
Great job, wonderfully and exquisitely explained. As a person of Aromanian and Romanian decent, I can clearly say you did an amazing job, and thank you for the video. I can now use it, to explain to my son what his ancestry is all about. Living in America, we don't get too much exposure to European history in such great detail.
I love your videos. Keep them coming!
Been to both Romania, and Moldova, they most certainly don't write in Cyrillic. So...haven't a clue what you're on about fella.
aserta I’m Russian and I’ve been to Moldova and almost everyone there knows both Romanian and Russian- they’re fluent in both.
Romania did use Cyrillic script in the past but a little over 100 years ago along with Latin script but later stopped using it.
Moldova won the right to use the Romanian/Moldovan language using the latin alphabet on 31 August 1989 and this was the first step towards independance from the Soviet Union. Any Romanian you see there written with Cyrillic is from the Soviet period and is not something produced in the last 25 years.
Xenia Because Russia wants to make out of Moldova a puppet state, unfortunately.I do not have a problem against the russian people, there are bad and good people everywhere around the world.It's just that I can't get over history, because they took away our lands that we fought and spilled blood for:Zones like Buceag and North Bucovina.Just ignore me tough, no hate...have a good day!
aserta moldova has 2 official languages, russian and romanian. thats what he meant
Here's a beautiful description of the Vlachs, the Romanians' ancestors, from Wikipedia ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlachs ):
- "the perfect Balkan citizens" because they are "able to preserve their culture without resorting to war or politics, violence or dishonesty" ("The Vlachs" book, by Tom Winnifrith - thank you !)
I was able to practice my beginners Italian on my Romanian friend and, when listening carefully, I could understand what she was saying!!
Very interesting and educational video.
Keep up the great work.
My wife is from Moldova.. Ethnic Russian. The people are wonderful. Intresting place to visist. We have been to Romania on vacation once when in Moldova.
I am realy suprised that the romanians survived the south slavic migration,and didn't integrated with them like the bulgarians did
Nobody important Bulgarians kinda were slavs to begin with. Our DNA is 45%thracian, 40% slavic and 15% bulgar, greek, cuman and e.t.c.
I think you meaned bulgars who are of iranian/indo-european origin who merged with the thracians and the slavs to create the bulgarian nation.
The reason being the Mountains.
Weren't the original Bulgars a Turkic group? From what I've read, they originally founded the Bulgarian nation but got dominated and absorbed by the more dominant Slavs so the their nation became Slavic
Jc Dizon That's some old communist propaganda which was made because of Soviet political interests of the time. Modern researches show that bulgars had more things incommon Iranians and indo-european.
PS Some turks will of course say otherwise and claim that we are there long forgotten brothers and other strange things.
Боян Михов
i love my slavic brothers including bulgarians but original bulgarians have been a mongoloid population that assimilated in slavic-native mix populations you have 30 % of slavic blood
this warms my heart, bravo!
Another awesome one.🤘
I was born in Romania and when I came here no one knew where Romania was which is very sad considering it’s amazing history. Yes Romanians are very hospitable, talented and hard working people.
@Kutya Vadász What you find so funny?
@Kutya Vadász its necesary to say from where u are?
hatters
that was in USA right??
Romania doesn't have much history since it is a 140 years old country, mate.
Another fascinating peek at linguistic and cultural history! I really enjoy your videos! Many years ago while waiting at LAX, I was sitting across from two men conversing in a language I could not identify! I could hear elements of French sounding words, elements of Italian and something else. My ears grew larger as I puzzled over their language. I finally worked up the courage and asked them. They both smiled at me, and one of them said “Romanian.”
Saludos hermanos rumanos!!!! Desde Honduras Centroamérica.
Salut Cesar!
Good job man . You explain it better than my teacher back in school in Romania. 20 years ago.
Aromanians didnt migrate from romania they were present in the same places in bulgaria, skopje and serbia long before slavs arrived.
Vlad The Impaler , as a romanian I believe aromanians are very closely related to us, actually, both of our qins are related. Unfortunately, the history was not too generous with you guys and now, you are living in countries ruled by people who came later.
I feel sorry for you and I hope you will find the strengh to maintain your identity in the today's reality. Unfortunately, Romania was and is still a poor country and did not help you with your struggle, but, with EU help, Romania will develop and will be able to support you in the future, but of course, within the current international conventions and without offending our neighbours and partners from Europe.
Asa sa ne ajute Dumnezeu!
True! I am Vlach from Skopje. And from the group known as Gramostain( from a region in Greece) but yeah slavs came later. We are descendants from the Roman Empire people. Those who inhabited and moved in the Balkans and stayed there. And started integrating with the greeks macedonians serbians bulgarians ect. Also Vlachs are people who didn't actually had mixed marriages. They only married from it's own kind. Me as well im 100% vlach from both side as far as i know from my grandparents till maybe 8 generations
@@elykoss Hahah, and you spoke the same language, and had same alphabet as those Slavs, until Vatican created modern Romania with latin alphabet, but Slavs came later? Give me a break please...
@@teamhelp2266 actually your conclusion is stupid. Look if you are born in middle East you will definetly integrate and officially use the arabic language/alphabet in china the chinese in israel Hebrew ect. That has nothing to so with your ethnic language and alphabet. Yes i can speak and write macedonian/( Cyrillic)/ slavic because i was born and grew up here.. but we vlachs are also using the vlach language and alphabet with each other which is latin and has nothing to do with slavic Cyrillic letters 🙋🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Aromanians ( Romanized Thracians ) original people from Bulgaria migrated due Bulgarian invasion
Honestly as a Romanian , I never before heard or seen so many accurate points about Romania in one post. Thank you for teaching people real historical and more contemporary facts about my country of origin. Inspiring and enlightening.
Cool story, bro.
Great video for the history Roman Empire 👍🔥
Romania is my favorite Balkan nation, I wish they still controlled Moldova but I know after the Soviet Union annexed it it become its own culture, and I know Moldova has been independent in the past as well
Moldova waa independent including the romanian part of it in the times when România was divided in the three parts : moldova, Valahia (tara romaneasca) and Transilvania.
Our eighth grade Spanish language text book started with a conversation that started with "esta Susana en casa? Si! En la cocina." A friend who had lived in Rumania said it would be word for word the same in Rumanian showing how surprisingly close the Romance languages are.
,,E susana in casa? Da, e la cocină. ‘’ that’s in romanian. Its similar indeed 😁
I Like Romanian peole .Very awasome people.beautiful people
Unfortunately we have some shitty abject leaders, puppets of foreign interests, who have robbed and destroyed this country and turned our people into a heard. We are far from what we were before, but thanks for your kind words.
@@ASorin-mi6su Those kind of leaders are leading the world for centuries not even decades, so no worries, that gives you no less of a right to be proud of such an amazing culture and history as yours. :)
Thanks!
Thank you, Mr Tsarov! Спасибо!
Александр Царов Thank You :)
This is really well done. Thoroughly researched & nicely peppered with imagry as well as chock full of historic facts. Thank you!
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Dalmatian language, another romance language in the region that was different from Romanian and died out fairly recently.
Great video! Just a few things to add1. The official language of Moldova in the constitution of Moldova clearly states that the official language is Romanian not Moldovan2. Romanian language in Moldova is written exclusively in Latin and was introduced in 1990 after the fall of communism 3. There are regional dialects with smalll words and different accents in Romanian spoken in historical regions in Romania like Wallachia, Transylvania, Moldavia and the Country Moldova but we can understand each other more or less fluently4. Many ethnic Romanians in Moldova were deported and assimilated by the Russians when they invaded Moldova
Most romanians dont understand me on i speak tbh only if theyre from a region closer to moldova or moldovan family/friends
I find this history to be very interesting. I wish love and freedom to these people.
Nice video ,we need you.keep it up.
0:35 Why did you use the Albanians when you said "slavic speakers"?
Albanian is not a slavic language.
But what is then Albanian? I hád no ideea that u are also latin?
Mihaela Toader Albanian is not connected to any language.
@@mihaelatoader309 Albanian is in its own language branch
Romanians and Albanians has a lot simimilar words.
Andrei Vlad That doesnt mean you have to put Albanians as slavs.Its like putting a black woman as the queen of England.
