Daco-Romanian

Dakorumänisch (Romanian: limba dacoromânǎ, Latin: lingua Daco - Romana ) is the term used to describe the northern Romanian language area, to differentiate it from the other Romanian languages ​​/ dialects. The four Romanian languages ​​/ dialects are: Dakorumänisch, Aromanian ( Mazedorumänisch ) Istrorumänisch and Meglenorumänisch. Part of the linguist calls these idioms as dialects of a single language Romanian.

The origin of the term " Dakorumänisch " comes from the book of the Romanian linguist, written by Samuil Micu and Gheorghe Şincai back. Here the language area of ​​the generally north of the Danube is located ( more precisely: the language area of ​​the north of the South Slavic area is because foothills of Dakorumänischen also lie south of the Danube - for example, in Dobrogea, in the east of Serbia or along the Danube in northern Bulgaria ) called lingua Daco - Romana and thus makes a reference to the ancient State and the later Roman province of Dacia, which corresponds to about this, and the area of ​​distribution of the Dacians.

The dakorumänische language area has (together with the German and Hungarian ) separately, the South Slavs from the remaining Slavs (so-called Northern Slavs ). The South Slavic languages ​​have, however Dakorumänisch isolated from the other Romance languages.

The standardized form of Dakorumänisch is generally referred to as the Romanian language. Dakorumänisch divided into two variant groups ( groupings of dialects ). These in turn are composed of several dialects. The standard written form of Romanian has emerged from the Muntenesc dialect.
