The issue of Aromanian-language education is still a sensitive one, partly because of the painful memories of the bitter divisions the presence of the Romanian schools caused in the past.

 Vlachs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although most linguists agree that their languages share a common origin, the origins of the Vlachs themselves are disputed, as is the notion that all Vlach groups have the same ethnic origins.
According to the dominant theory, they are descended from the Roman colonists and/or the Romanised Dacian, Thracian and Illyrian local populations (see Origin of Romanians for more about the dispute about the origin).
Linguists believe that the large vocabulary of Latin words related to agriculture shows that there has always been a farming Vlach population, unlike the Albanians, who have many of these words borrowed from Slavic.

It is difficult to find an explanation for the fact that while only 0.56 percent of those whose vernacular was Romanian claimed to belong to a nationality other than Romanian, 4 percent of those with Hungarian as their mother tongue were registered as Romanians by nationality.
Statistics based on language have therefore been found to be more reliable, and these calculations use the 1956 census as the point of departure.
The numerical increase of the Romanians, according to official statistics, exceeded the increase of the total population by 137,000; and this figure, taking into account the rate of natural increase of both the Romanians and the national minorities, is precisely equal to the numerical losses suffered by the national minorities.
