	Romania Culture
		Romanian culture is largely derived from the Roman, with strains of Slavic, Magyar (Hungarian), Greek, and Turkish influence.
		The Romanian language, although developing over the centuries in difficult historical conditions, is as Latin as any other Romance language and, like the culture as a whole, continues to exhibit a remarkable vitality.
		Romanian poets and writers, too, have operated in a cultural tradition somewhat different from that in neighbouring countries; in architecture, the Bucharest television centre is but one example of another Modernist trend.

	The Romanian Jewish Community
		Philologist, literary historian and folklorist, he left two major works: "The Romanian 'Chrestomatia'" (1891), a collection of texts from the 16th-18th centuries, based on which the old Romanian language can be known, and "Romanian Folk Literature" (1883), one of the foundation stones of the Romanian folklore studies.
		The emphasis is always laid on valuing, as the discussion of the different points of view is subordinated to the investigation of the facts (he often underlines that we always need "facts", that we must start with the "facts") and to the syntheses resulted from the application of the comparative-historical method.
		It is the representation of the Jew — active participant, inclined through his identity to be himself, relatively individualized in the visible mutation of the emphasis towards the enrichment of the national whole and, being one of its ramifications, connected to the aspirations of the national civilization.

	Central Europe Review - 2000: A YEAR FOR EMINESCU
		Today, many Romanians consider Eminescu to be the 'National Poet' of Romania and an integral component of Romanian culture, just as Shakespeare or Byron offer an association with national identity in other cultures.
		Consequently, Eminescu as the 'National Poet' in Romania is considered quintessential for the self-definition of Romanian national identity in a society where regional identity often supersedes that of national identity.
		His exploration of Romanian folklore underlined the essence of Romanian nationality and has been transformed over the decades to enhance the development of Romanian culture.

	The paradox of the fortunate fall: censorship and poetry in communist Romania Literary Review - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		It strikes me that the concept of a fortunate fall is the best description of the major sustaining myth among Romanian poets during the communist period, especially during the quarter century before the December 22, 1989, overthrow of Nicolae Ceausescu.
		Poets in Romania who wrote during these times of oppression frequently testified about the direct and indirect influences of censorship even at the very core of their work, more or less determining literary strategy and coloring purpose, content, and theme.
		In a number of conversations, poet Daniela Crasnaru--who worked as an editor in a publishing house until quitting when the censorship became intense in the late 1980s--has mentioned "tyranny," "democracy, "freedom," as well as both "angel" and "church," but she added, with no small touch of sarcasm, "devils" was OK.

		Speculating that it was the cause of Romania's poverty, the "new" generation of Romanian politicians combated the "old style" nationalism of Nicolae Ceauşescu's regime.
		Under the leadership of Ceauşescu, Romanians faced all shades of nationalism, starting with the creation of the secret police unit, which was modeled after the Russian's and that recruited informers to discover potential threats from abroad.
		The present Romanian nationalism is the application of an eclectic nationalistic program in a country that has experimented with various facets of an intolerant and isolationist ideology.

	Romanian Language Technology
		It must be taken into account the fact that Romanian orthography requires morphological syllabication even when the elements which compose the word do not exist as independent units in Romanian: ab/laut (not a/blaut, as phonetic syllabication requires), auto/psie 'autopsy' (not autop/sie), steto/scop 'stethoscope' (not stetos/cop), trans/atlantic (not tran/satlantic).
		Romanian syllabication rules presuppose a high degree of linguistic culture of the person who writes.
		The Database of the Romanian Language as a source/target language, as an interdisciplinary research derived from the projects mentioned above, is conceived for teaching and learning Romanian as a foreign language.
