Dacoromanian
Daco-Romanian ( Romanian limba dacoromânǎ , Latin lingua Daco-Romana ) is the term that refers to the northern Romanian language area, to distinguish it from the other Romanian languages / dialects. The four Romanian languages / dialects are: Dakor- Romanian , Aromanian (Macedor- Romanian ), Istror- Romanian and Megleno- Romanian . Some linguists refer to these idioms as dialects of a uniform Romanian language.
The origin of the term "Dakorumänisch" goes back to the book of the Romanian linguists Samuil Micu and Gheorghe Șincai . This is the language area that is generally north of the Danube (to be more precise: the language area that is north of the South Slavic area , as the foothills of the Dakor-Romanian are also south of the Danube - for example in the Dobrudscha , in eastern Serbia or along the Danube in Northern Bulgaria ) is called the lingua Daco-Romana and thus establishes a reference to the ancient state and the later Roman province of Dacia , which roughly corresponds to this, as well as the area of distribution of the Dacians .
The Dakoruman language area (together with the German and Hungarian) separated the southern Slavs from the rest of the Slavs (so-called northern Slavs ). The South Slavic languages, on the other hand, isolated Dakor- Romanian from the rest of the Romance languages .
The standardized form of Daco Romanian is commonly referred to as the Romanian language . Dacoromanian is divided into 2 variant groups (groupings of dialects). These in turn are composed of several dialects. The standardized written form of Romanian developed from the Muntenesc dialect.
