  Romanian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Romanian (limba română IPA /'limba ro'mɨnə/), the official language of Romania, is an Eastern Romance language.
All the dialects of Romanian are believed to have been unified in a Common Romanian language until sometime between the 7th and the 10th century when the area was influenced by the Byzantine Empire and Romanian became influenced by the Slavonic languages.
Romanian is one of the five languages in which religious services are performed in the autonomous monastic state of Mount Athos, spoken in the sketae of Prodromos and Lacu (a sketa being a community of monks; sketae is plural).

All dialects of Romanian are believed to have been unified in a common language until sometime between the 7th and the 10th century, before the Slavonic languages interfered with Romanian.
Romanian is spoken mostly in Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Hungary, Serbia and Montenegro, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Greece, but there are also Romanian language speakers in countries like Canada, United States, Germany, Israel, Australia and New Zealand, mainly due to immigration after the World War II.
Another peculiarity of Romanian is that it is the only Romance language that has the definite article attached to the end of the noun (as in Scandinavian languages) instead of being a separate word in front.

Another peculiarity of Romanian is that it is the only Romance language that has the definite article attached to the end of the noun (as in Swedish) instead of being a separate word in front.
Romanian has the same four groups of verbs as Latin and unlike English, it has no sequence of tenses nor strict rules regarding their use, but it does have many alternatives (for example, it has six different types of future tense).
Today, the Romanian alphabet is largely phonetic, with one exception: the "andacirc" (used inside the words) and "andicirc" (used at the beginning or the end), both representing the same sound.

 Charlotte's Corner
Having translated these sayings into English, and somewhat pleased with both the rhyme and the somewhat archaic use of "morrow" meaning "morning", Charlotte turned her thoughts to the importance of proverbs to the culture of each country in particular and consequently to translators and interpreters in general.
When selected, each proverb is given in Japanese ideographs, followed by a Romanji transcription, a literal translation, a clarification regarding the real meaning of the proverb and an equivalent English proverb if available, and finally by notes about the cultural and/or linguistic and grammatical background of the proverb and by photographs or illustrations.
For instance, "iwanu ga hana" means literally "not speaking is the flower", and the meaning of the proverb is given as "some things are better left unsaid" or "silence is golden." The notes provided state that -nu is a negative ending like -nai.
