	Csango minority culture in Romania
		Csangos speak an early form of Hungarian and are associated with ancient traditions, and a great diversity of folk art and culture, which is of exceptional value for Europe.
		For centuries, the self-identity of the Csangos was based on the Roman Catholic religion and the Hungarian language spoken in the family.
		According to the 1992 census, 1,306 of the 1,352 Csangos in Moldavia are Roman Catholics.

	HUNSOR - Csango-hungarians for UNESCO's "Cultural World Heritage"!
		The Csangos, whose culture is threatened with extinction by an intolerant society in the midst of which they live, deserves the protection of the UNESCO imprimatur.
		The Csango ballads collected by the famous Hungarian ethnographer, Zoltan Kallos, who lived with the Csangos from 1958-1966, reveal a beautiful and poetic style of Hungarian which is rarely spoken today, even in Hungary and Transylvania.
		It is not an exaggeration to say that the Csango people represent the cradle of the Hungarian culture, for it is they who have preserved the customs and traditions that have slowly transformed or disappeared from their closest Hungarian brothers and neighbors, the Szeklers of Transylvania.

	Romanian History - the Csango of Moldavia
		The limited genetic research to date shows the csango (and Szekely) to have a substantial genetic pool close to Iranian, but are not close to the Uralic groups of the Magyar, possibly supporting the view that they have origins in Alans or Huns.
		The term Csango in its widest use includes Hungarian speakers that moved from Transylvania to Bucovina in the 18th century, the Hungarian speaking peoples in the villages of the Gyimes pass, and a number of villages near to Braşov in Transylvania.
		All these groups of peoples are generalised under the single term of csango, but to understand one must separate them by their various origins, histories and circumstances, and separate the religious and nationalistic politics that overwhelm many of the common beliefs.

	The Language Rights of the Moldavian Csango (with special reference to the effectiveness of rights in education) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Furthermore, the insularity of the Csango has made it possible for them to preserve the ancient traditions of their culture; however, with respect to language, it can be said that the Hungarian-speaking Csango represent a group in which Hungarian can be considered as an “endangered” language.
		The essential basis of the awareness of identity among the Hungarian Csango of Moldavia is the Roman Catholic Church.
		The Hungarian language is used by the Csango exclusively within the family and in informal situations. They do not know what is regarded as “standard” Hungarian and they are only capable of using the local Hungarian dialect in a restricted way: in their case language exchange has almost completely taken place.

	CSÁNGÓ BÁL 2001-2002
		The organizers wanted to give an opportunity for the Csangos, who preserved lots of elements of medieval and early modern Hungarian and European culture, to present their clothes, customs, music and dances on stage.
		The programme was followed by "dance house" (folk dancing) until dawn, in which the audience could experience and be participant of the Csango culture, and could learn Moldavian Csango Hungarian dances with the help of traditionalist dance groups from Moldavia and Gyimes.
		The organizers of the Csango Festival wished and wish to call public attention to the unfavourable social and economic processes which threaten the existence of Moldavian Hungarians, and they want to get support and supporters for the efforts in the interest of the survival and progress of Moldavian Csango Hungarians.

	Association of Csango-Hungarians in Moldavia
		The Csango people go to a doctor only when they have a big problem.
		In the autumn of 2006 the MCSMSZ started screening tests and the point of these tests were to draw attention to those illnesses that do not "hurt".
		For example the heart, the brain, the eyes, the kidneys, the nervous system, the protection mechanism of the skin can deteriorate, the healing of wounds becomes slower, there is less immunity against infections, and the risk of heart attack and stroke increases.

	Csango Hungarians of Moldva
		The term Csango (Ceangai in Romanian) is used to identify a non-homogeneous group of Roman Catholic people of Hungarian origin living in Romania.
		This ethnic group is a relic from the Middle Ages that has survived in the melting potof Moldavia, in the eastern part of Romania.
		The first groups may have settled there as early as the 13th century, when the Hungarian king B?la IV christianised the people of Cumania and founded a bishopric in Milko but, as we have seen, these are unlikely to have survived the Mongols.

	Zurgó Együttes
		The members' aim is to collect the music of the 'csango' - a Hungarian minority living in Romania - to present it in concerts and thus preserve it for the coming generations.
		Gregorian melodies, laments, ballads and new-style folk songs can be found in their culture as well as chain and line dances of ancient origin, the renaissance 'kettos'- a walking and fast couple dance-and the 19th-century Hungarian csardas.
		On 23rd May 2001, the Permanent Committee of the General Assembly of the European Council accepted the Finnish Tytti Isohookana Asunmaa's report which stated that the Csangos of Moldavia speak a former version of Hungarian and have archaic traditions, colourful folk art and culture which are of special importance for Europe.

	A message of hope for the Balkans
		The Csango, ethnic Hungarians of the Moldavian region in Romania, have a history marked with bitter struggles for the recognition of their rights.
		Until 1989, the Csango were practically unheard of, despite the great musician Bela Bartok’s promotion of their cause since 1913.
		For centuries, the Csango have fought peacefully for their rights but, until a decade ago, they lacked a sufficiently educated class prepared to fight the deeply penetrating and sophisticated web of government repression.

		The Csangos are living a particularly dramatic moment of their history that will decide if they can survive longer or disappear.
		The Csangos that survived rumanisation are circa 80.000 (60.000 Hungarian speaking) of a potential 260.000.
		The only real result of the struggle of the Csango for their human rights was the opening of a extra curriculum lesson of Hungarian language (of one hour in a week, from 7 am to 8 am, with all the students of the school together) in two Csango villages (Klezsa and Pusztina).

	Romanian History - the Cuman csango
		The opposing view is that most of the population was depleted after the invasions and the current population is boosted by a mix of Transylvanian Szekely and Transylvanian Romanians, based on the Transylvanian Romanian dialect found here.
		The Csango will use the various terms of Csango, Catholic, or Romanian for their identity, further confusing the nationalists who wish to assign a Hungarian or Romanian identity.
		The groups in these villages know they have a different identity to the surrounding peoples, partly defined by their religion, but they have also been part of the Moldavian Romanian nation for more than 600 years, and have lived through the founding of Romania.
